title: Bis(1,5-diphenyl-carbazonato)di-methano-lcobalt(II).
abstract: The structure of the title compound, [Co(C(13)H(11)N(4)O)(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)], is a mononuclear six-coordinated octa-hedral cobalt(II) complex of C(i) mol-ecular symmetry. The Co(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two 1,5-biphenyl-carbazide ligands, and two O atoms from two methanol molecules. Two diphenyl-carbazidate ligands and the central Co(II) ion form the basal plane, with the two methanol mol-ecules located in axial positions. The crystal packing is defined by bifurcated O-H⋯N hydrogen bonding and intra-molecular N-H⋯O inter-actions.
