Popis: The crystal structure of the title compound consists of discrete neutral complexes in which the cobalt cations are octa­hedrally coordinated by two N-bonded thio­cyanate anions, two hexa­methyl­ene­tetra­amine ligands and two water mol­ecules with additional aceto­nitrile and hexa­methyl­ene­tetra­mine solvate mol­ecules, which are hydrogen bonded to the complexes.
The crystal structure of the title solvated coordination compound, [Co(NCS)2(C6H12N4)2(H2O)2]·2C6H12N4·2C2H3N, consists of discrete complexes in which the Co2+ cations (site symmetry ) are sixfold coordinated by two N-bonded thio­cyanate anions, two water mol­ecules and two hexa­methyl­ene­tetra­mine (HMT) mol­ecules to generate distorted trans-CoN4O2 octa­hedra. The discrete complexes are each connected by two HMT solvate mol­ecules into chains via strong O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. These chains are further linked by additional O—H⋯N and C—H⋯N and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. Within this network, channels are formed that propagate along the c-axis direction and in which additional aceto­nitrile solvent mol­ecules are embedded, which are hydrogen bonded to the network. The CN stretching vibration of the thio­cyanate ion occurs at 2062 cm−1, which is in agreement with the presence of N-bonded anionic ligands. XRPD investigations prove the formation of the title compound as the major phase accompanied by a small amount of a second unknown phase.
