Popis: Reaction of Co(BF4)2·6H2O with tris[(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl]amiine in methanol results in a fluoride abstraction from BF4−, yielding the unexpected title compound, [Co2F2(C21H24N4)2](BF4)2. The complex cation consists of two inversion-related [Co(C21H24N4)]2+ moieties bridged by a pair of fluoride ligands. The CoII cation is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry and forms a +II high-spin state. In the crystal, the complex cation and the BF4− anion are connected by C—H...F hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. An intramolecular C—H...F hydrogen bond is also observed.
