metal-organic compounds
The CoIII ion in the title compound, [Co(NCS)2(C16H32N4)](SCN), is six-coordinate in a distorted octahedral environment with the four N atoms of the macrocyclic quadridentate ligand equatorial and the two N atoms of two isothiocyanato groups axial. The quadridentate macrocyclic ligand is in a planar conformation with the two five-membered rings gauche and the two six-membered rings in twist conformations. The complex has an RR or SS configuration for the two chiral amine N centres. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the two NH groups and the unbonded thiocyanate ion help stabilize the crystal structure.
