title: Crystal structure of bis-(3,5-di-methyl-pyridine-κN)bis-(methanol-κO)bis-(thio-cyanato-κN)cobalt(II).
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Co(NCS)2(C7H9N)2(CH3OH)2], comprises of one CoIIcation located on a centre of inversion, one thio-cyanate ligand, one methanol ligand and one 3,5-di-methyl-pyridine ligand. The CoIIcation is octa-hedrally coordinated by two terminal N-bonding thio-cyanate anions, two methanol mol-ecules and two 3,5-di-methyl-pyridine ligands into a discrete complex. The complex mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯S hydrogen bonding into chains that elongate in the direction parallel to thebaxis.
