Tetra-kis(pyridazine-κN)bis-(seleno-cyanato-κN)cobalt(II) pyridazine disolvate.

Reaction of cobalt(II) nitrate with potassium seleno-cyanate and pyridazine leads to single crystals of the title compound, [Co(NCSe)(2)(C(4)H(4)N(2))(4)]·2C(4)H(4)N(2), which is isotypic with its nickel(II) thio-cyanate analogue. The Co(2+) cations are coordinated by two N-bonded seleno-cyanate ligands and four N atoms from four pyridazine ligands into discrete complexes. The complexes are arranged into layers parallel to (001). These layers are separated by additional non-coordinating pyridazine ligands.
