The title complex, [Co(C15H12N3O2S)2], consists of an octahedrally coordinated CoII ion, with two crystallographically independent 1,4-dibenzoylthiosemicarbazidate ligands in a tridentate mer coordination [Co-O = 2.064 (3)-2.132 (3) Å and Co-N = 2.037 (3)-2.043 (3) Å]. There are intermolecular N-HS hydrogen bonds involving one ligand and strong - stacking interactions involving the other ligand, resulting in a three-dimensional supramolecular framework. The hydrogen bonds and - interactions, as well as different intramolecular aryl-benzamide H-CH(-N) distances, give rise to a difference in conformation between the two ligands.
