Abstract: The title compound, [Co(C₇H₇O₃)₂(C₇H₉NO)₂], crystallizes as a centrosymmetric mononuclear Co^II complex with two phenoxyacetate and two 2-(2-pyridyl)ethanol molecules acting as ligands. The phenoxyacetate anion binds to the Co^II ion through one carboxylate O atom, and the 2-(2-pyridyl)ethanol molecule acts in a chelating mode. The molecular structure of the complex is stabilized by two intramolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds.
