Diacetatobis(2-Aminobenzothiazole-κ N)Cobalt(II)

Abstract

The title complex, [Co(C<inf>2</inf>H<inf>3</inf>O<inf>2</inf>) <inf>2</inf>(C<inf>7</inf>H<inf>6</inf>N<inf>2</inf>S)<inf>2</inf>], 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) Å, and Co-N = 2.0524 (18) and 2.0568 (18) Å], The interplanar angle between the two benzothiazole moieties is 77.86 (3)°. The amine groups, acting as donors, participate in intra- and intermolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with N⋯O distances in the range 2.806 (2)-2.857 (2) Å. ̊ 2005 International Union of Crystallography.
