Abstract

In the title compound, {[Co(C7H3NO5)(C13H14N2)(H2O)]·2H2O}n, the CoII atom is coordinated by two O atoms from a pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate N-oxide ligand, two N atoms from two 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane ligands and one water molecule, and displays a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane ligands link the CoII atoms into an infinite zigzag chain parallel to [010]. The chains are further linked through O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
