Diaquabis(tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-8-carboxylato-κ2N1,O)cobalt(II) dihydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Co(C6H3N4O2)2(H2O)2]·2H2O, the CoII atom is located on an inversion center in a slightly distorted octahedral environment formed by the O atoms of two water molecules, and the N and O atoms of the chelating tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-8-carboxylate anions. Hydrogen bonds of the O—H...O and O—H...N types result in a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
