Bis(acetato-κO)bis(thiourea-κS)cobalt(II)

Abstract

The title compound, [Co(CH3COO)2 (CH 4N2S)2], is isotypic with the corresponding ZnII complex. The metal atom is in a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment with the two S atoms from two thiourea ligands and two O atoms from two acetate anions as the coordinating atoms. All H atoms of the thiourea ligands are involved in N - H⋯O and N - H⋯S hydrogen bonds, leading to a three-dimensional network.
