Abstract :
The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Co(NCS)2(C7H9N)2(CH3OH)2], comprises of one CoII cation located on a centre of inversion, one thiocyanate ligand, one methanol ligand and one 3,5-dimethylpyridine ligand. The CoII cation is octahedrally coordinated by two terminal N-bonding thiocyanate anions, two methanol molecules and two 3,5-dimethylpyridine ligands into a discrete complex. The complex molecules are linked by intermolecular O—H⋯S hydrogen bonding into chains that elongate in the direction parallel to the b axis.
