Abstract: The title compound, [Co(C₁₆H₁₃O₃)₂(H₂O)₄]·H₂O, is a transition metal complex of ketoprofen [2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propanoic acid], a well known nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The asymmetric unit consists of two half-complexes and one water molecule of crystallization. The Co^II atoms are located on inversion centers and show an octahedral coordination geometry, defined by two carboxylate O atoms from two ketoprofenate ligands and four water molecules. The molecules are connected via O-HO hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
