Abstract

The title ionic complex [CoCl(NCS)(C2H8N2)2][Cr(NCS)4(NH3)2], which crystallizes as a non-merohedral twin, is build up of a complex cation [CoCl(NCS)(en)2](+) (en is ethane-1,2-di-amine) and the Reinecke's salt anion [Cr(NCS)4(NH3)2](-) as complex counter-ion. A network of N-H⋯S and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, as well as short S⋯S contacts [3.538 (2) and 3.489 (3) Å], between the NCS groups of the complex anions link the mol-ecules into a three-dimentional supra-molecular network. Intensity statistic indicated twinning by non-mero-hedry with refined weighs of twin components are 0.5662:0.4338.
