Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(N3) 2(H2O)4]·C14H 12N2O4, comprises half of the cobalt(II) complex molecule and a half of the 3,3′-dicarboxylato-1,1′- ethylenedipyridinium molecule. The CoII atom is located on an inversion centre and hence the complex molecule adopts a centrosymmetric trans-octa-hedral geometry. The zwitterionic organic molecule is also centrosymmetric with the centre of the C - C bond of the ethylene moiety coinciding with an inversion centre. The adduct of metal complex and organic molecule is associated into a three-dimenional network through O - H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
