fac-Triazido(2,2'-bipyridine-N,N')(pyridine-N)cobalt(III)

The title complex, [Co(N₃)₃(C₁₀H₈N₂)(C₅H₅N)], adopts fac-octahedral coordination geometry. All the azido ligands are terminally coordinated with an average Co-N-N angle of 125 Å. The pyridine ligand is least strongly coordinated to Co^III and forms the longest Co-N bond [1.992 (2) Å]. The bipyridine rings lie in the equatorial plane are nearly perpendicular to the pyridine ring.
