Abstract: A new cobalt complex, [Co₂(C₁₀H₂O₈)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₄(H₂O)₂]·12H₂O, has been hydrothermally synthesized at 413 K over a period of 8 h. Its structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Each metal ion center is in a distorted octahedral geometry and coordinated by four N atoms from the two 2,2'-bipyridine ligands, an O atom from H₂O and an O atom from the bridging benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate ligand. There is a center of inversion at the center of the benzene ring.
