Abstract: The title compound, [Co₂(C₁₀H₂O₈)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, adopts a linear chain structure in which the tetra-anionic ligand, which lies on a special position of $\overline 1$ site symmetry, uses two O atoms of one carboxylate group to bind to one Co atom and the O atom of the carboxyl group at the ortho position to bind to another Co atom. Each Co atom is also chelated by the N-heterocycle, and its sixth coordination site is occupied by a water molecule.
