Diacetatobis(2-aminobenzothiazole-kappa N)cobalt(II)

Abstract

The title complex, [Co(C2H3O2)(2)(C7H6N2S)(2)], contains a Co centre with a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry, involving two acetate ligands and two N atoms from the thiazole moiety [ Co - O = 2.0025 ( 14) and 1.9953 ( 16) angstrom, and Co - N = 2.0524 ( 18) and 2.0568 ( 18) angstrom]. The interplanar angle between the two benzothiazole moieties is 77.86 ( 3) degrees. The amine groups, acting as donors, participate in intra- and intermolecular N - H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, with N center dot center dot center dot O distances in the range 2.806 ( 2) - 2.857 ( 2) angstrom.
