Y.-H. Xue, Y. Liu and D.-J. Xu

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound [Co(C₄H₄O₄) (C₇H₆N₂)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, consists of a polymeric Co^II complex bridged by a succinate dianion. Neighboring polymeric chains linked via hydrogen bonds. The overlapped arrangement and short separation of 3.365  (3)  Å between parallel benzimidazole rings suggest the existence of - stacking. The centrosymmetric complex has an octahedral coordination geometry.
