Abstract: In the title compound, [Co(CO₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂](CF₃SO₃), the Co^III ion is coordinated by four N atoms from two chelating 2,2'-bipyridine ligands and two O atoms from a bidentate chelating carbonate anion, and has a distorted octahedral environment. C-HO hydrogen bonding is observed between bipyridine ligands and uncoordinated (CF₃SO₃)^- anions and between bipyridine and carbonate ligands.
