Abstract :
The crystal structure of the title compound, [Co(NCS)2(C12H9NO)2(CH3OH)2], consists of cobalt(II) cations that are octahedrally coordinated by two N-terminal bonding thiocyanato anions, two methanol molecules and two 4-benzoylpyridine ligands into discrete complexes that are located on centres of inversion. These complexes are further linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding between the hydroxy H atom of the methanol ligand and the carbonyl O atom of the 4-benzoylpyridine ligand of a neighboring complex into layers parallel to (101). No pronounced intermolecular interactions are observed between these layers.
