metal-organic compounds
Na[Co(CO)4] was reacted with pyridine-2-thiol (PyS) in tetrahydrofuran to give the title complex, (C8H20N)[Co(C5H4NS)3], in which the three S atoms and the three N atoms of the PyS ligands coordinate to the central CoII atom, forming three four-membered chelate rings with S-Co-N angles of 66°. The geometry around the CoII atom is distorted octahedral. The average Co-S and Co-N bond distances are 2.568 and 2.108 Å, respectively.
