Diaqua-bis-[N-(pyridin-4-yl)isonicotin-amide-κN]bis-(thio-cyanato-κN)cobalt(II).
In the title compound, [Co(NCS)₂(C₁₁H₉N₃O)₂(H₂O)₂], the octa-hedrally coordinated Co(II) ion lies on a crystallographic inversion center and is bound by two isothio-cyanate ligands, two aqua ligands and two N-(pyridin-4-yl)isonicotinamide (4-pina) ligands. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings in the 4-pina ligand is 8.98 (11)°. In the crystal, the individual mol-ecular units are aggregated in three dimensions by O-H⋯N, O-H⋯S and N-H⋯S hydrogen-bonding pathways.
