Bis[N′-(2-pyridylmethylene-κN)benzohydrazide-κN′]bis(thiocyanato-κN)cobalt(II)

In the title complex, [Co(NCS)2(C13H11N3O)2], the CoII centre adopts a distorted octahedral coordination geometry with two cis-bidentate Schiff base ligands and two cis thiocyanate ligands. The Schiff base ligand coordinates via the imine N and pyridine N atoms. The CoII atom lies on a crystallographic twofold rotational axis. Non-classical intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules into chains along [001].
