Abstract: In the title compound, {[Co(C₈H₃NO₆)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·0.25H₂O}_n, the coordination polyhedron of the Co^II ion is an octahedron. Each pair of adjacent Co^II ions is bridged by a dianion of 5-nitro-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H₂nmbdc) to form a chain running along the a axis. These chains are linked by - stacking interactions and O(water)-HO hydrogen bonds into a supramolecular structure.
