metal-organic compounds
Reaction of Co(NCS)2 and 2-aminobenzonitrile (ABN) produces the title one-dimensional polymer, [Co(NCS)2(ABN)2]n, where ABN is 2-aminobenzonitrile (C7H6N2). Octahedrally coordinated CoII ions are bridged by the ABN molecules, which are coordinated to the central metal via the N donors of the cyano and nitrile groups.
