R. Carballo, B. Covelo, E. García-Martínez and E. M. Vázquez-López

Abstract: The structure of the title compound, [Co(AcO)₂(2,2'-bipy)(H₂O)₂] or [Co(C₂H₃O₂)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₂], consists of mononuclear molecules with crystallographic twofold rotation symmetry. The Co atom displays a distorted tetragonally compressed octahedral environment, with a unique Co-N distance of 2.1227  (14)  Å and Co-O distances in the range 2.0976  (13)-2.1256  (14)  Å. The molecules are self-assembled via hydrogen bonds to form an one-dimensional chain and via aromatic-aromatic interactions giving a two-dimensional structure.
