Bis(3-amino-prop-yl)amine-κN,N',N'']bis-(thio-cyanato-κN)cobalt(II).

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(NCS)2(C6H17N3)], consists of one Co2+ cation, two thio­cyanate anions and one bis­(3-amino­prop­yl)amine ligand, all in general positions. The cobalt cation is coordinated by five N atoms of two terminal N-bonded thio­cyanate anions and one bis­(3-amino­prop­yl)amine ligand, defining a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination polyhedron. The mol­ecules are held together in the crystal by weak N—H⋯S inter­actions.
