Bis(1-dodecyl-4-aza-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane)tetraisothiocyanatocobalt(II)

The title compound, [Co(C18H37N2)2(NCS)4], consists of a cobalt(II) ion positioned on the origin of the triclinic unit cell. It is coordinated by the N atoms of two trans-oriented 1-dodecyl-4-aza-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO+) cations, which carry n-dodecyl chains at the non-coordinating N atoms. The distorted octahedral coordination environment of the CoII ion is completed through four N atoms of isothiocyanate ions, which are arranged within the equatorial plane. Non-classical hydrogen bonding of the types C—H...N and C—H...S between the filamentous molecules lead to the formation of layers parallel to (001).
