Abstract

Two mononuclear tetra-coordinated cobalt(II) complexes with molecular formula [Co(L)2(SCN)2] (L = 1-methylbenzimidazole (mbim), 1; L = 1-methyl-2-aminobenzimidazole (mabim), 2) were prepared and characterized by IR, EA, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The central Co(II) ion is tetrahedrally coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of benzimidazole-based ligands and two nitrogen atoms of two thiocyanato ligands. In the crystal structure of 1 and 2, molecules are linked through intermolecular hydrogen bonds and π···π interactions forming a 3D network.
