Abstract: The Co atom in the title compound, [Co(C₁₀H₁₄NO₆)(C₂H₈N₂)]·H₂O, has an octahedral geometry with tetradentate N,N-bis(carboxymethyl)-L-leucine (L-bcmle) and bidentate ethylenediamine (en) ligands. The complexes and water molecules are linked via N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds, forming layers perpendicular to the c axis. Between these hydrophilic layers, hydrophobic bilayers are formed by the isobutyl groups of the L-bcmle ligands.
