The title coordination polymer, [Co(N3)2(C9H8N2)] n , was synthesized solvothermally. The CoII atom exhibits a distorted octa-hedral [CoN6] coordination geometry with a bidentate 8-amino-quinoline ligand and four azide ligands. Bridging azide ligands result in chains extending along [100]. N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds join the chains to give an extended structure with sheets parallel to (002).
Keywords: 8-aminoquinoline (8-aquin); azide anion; cobalt(II); crystal structure.
