title: Bis(benzo-15-crown-5-κO)barium tetrakis-(isothio-cyanato-κN)cobaltate(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Ba(C(14)H(20)O(5))(2)][Co(NCS)(4)], the Ba(II) and Co(II) ions are situated on twofold rotational axes, so asymmetric unit contains half each of the complex cations and anions. The Co(II) ion is coordinated by four N atoms [Co-N 1.83 (2), 1.95 (3) Å] in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The Ba(II) ion is coordinated by ten O atoms [Ba-O 2.766 (19)-2.859 (19) Å] from two benzo-15-crown-5 ligands in a sandwich-like configuration.
