Z.-S. Li and J.-S. Chai

Abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C₄₈H₂₈N₄O₈)(C₅H₅N)₂]·4C₅H₅N·H₂O, the Co atom lies on a fourfold inversion axis, with the N atom and one C atom of the axial pyridine ligand on a twofold axis. Four pyridine solvent molecules hydrogen bond to the carboxylate groups of the porphyrin. The structure generates a hydrophobic void that incorporates a disordered solvent water molecule whose O atom lies on another fourfold inversion axis.
