A novel two‐dimensional cobalt(II) coordination polymer with 1,4‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl­methyl)­benzene

In the crystal structure of the title complex, poly­di­azidocobalt(II)]‐di‐μ‐1,4‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl­methyl)­benzene‐κ⁴N⁴:N^4′], Co(N₃)₂(bbtz)₂]_n, where bbtz is 1,4‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl­methyl)­benzene (C₁₂H₁₂N₆), the Co^II atom, which lies on an inversion centre, is six‐coordinated by four N atoms from four bbtz ligands and by two N atoms from two azide ligands, in a distorted octahedral coordination environment. The Co^II atoms are bridged by four bbtz ligands to form a two‐dimensional 4,4]‐network.
