Abstract

In the title complex, [Co(NCO)2(C12H8N2)2], the CoII atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral environment by four N atoms from two chelating phenanthroline ligands and two N atoms from two isocyanate ligands in cis positions.

Comment

As has been known for a very long time, 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) is a good bidentate chelating ligand, and has been widely introduced into the transition metal complexes. Here, we present a new six-coordinated cobalt(II) complex based on phen.

The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The coordination geometry of the CoII ion is distorted octahedral, in which four positions are occupied by four N atoms of two chelating phen ligands and the other two occupied by two N atoms of two isocyanate ligands at a cis position. The Co—Nphen and Co—Nisocyanate bond lengths are 2.168 (2), 2.223 (3) and 2.058 (3) Å (Table 1), respectively, which are all comparable to those found in other bis(phen)cobalt(II) complexes (Cheng & Hu, 2003; He et al., 2004; Yin, 2007).

Experimental

To a solution of 1,10-phenanthroline monohydrate (39.6 mg, 0.2 mmol) dissolved in methanol (15 ml) was added Co(ClO4)2.6H2O (36.6 mg, 0.1 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 5 min before NaNCO (13 mg, 0.2 mmol) was added. After the stirring process was continued for an additional 5 min, the mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was allowed to slow evaporate to afford orange-yellow crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction with a yield about 55%.

Refinement

H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
