Bis(2,2′-diamino-4,4′-bi-1,3-thiazole-N,N′)(dichloro)cobalt(II) dihydrate

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Co(C6H6N4S2)2Cl2]·2H2O, comprises an octahedral CoII complex and water of crystallization. Two Cl atoms and two di­amino­bi­thia­zole (DABT) ligands coordinate to the CoII atom in a cis configuration. The overlapped arrangement and the short separation of 3.46 (2) A between parallel DABT rings suggest the existence of π–π stacking interactions. A short S⋯S contact of 3.1822 (17) A is observed between DABT ligands.
