N2  - Crystalline bis(benzothiazole-2-thiolato)bis(pyridine)cobalt(II) [Co(mbt)2(py)2] contains molecular complexes with C2 point symmetry, in which the cobalt is coordinated by two thiazole nitrogen atoms[cis, Co- N = 2.158(4) &#506;], two mbt- exocyclic sulphur (Se) atoms [trans, Co-S = 2.595(5) &#506;],and two pyridine nitrogen atoms [cis, Co-N = 2.120(4) &#506;]. The N-C-S, section of mbt- is loosely coordinated to cobalt, forming a four-membered chelate ring. It is inferred from the observed dimensions that the electronic structure of coordinated mbt- is ?allylic?, N=C=Se. The crystals are orthorhombic, a 16.165(1), b 16.302(1), c 18.533(1) , &#506;, space group Pccn, Z 8 [2 x 1/2 x Co(mbt)2(py)2],pobs 1.495, pcalc 1.495 g cm-3: Ni(mbt)2(py)2 is isostructural. The structure was obtained from 1847 observed diffractometer data (Cu K&#945;, &#952;max 55°), and refined to R 0.035, Rw 0.031.
