Abstract: The title complex, [Co(C₁₀H₉O₅)₂(C₁₀H₁₀O₅)₂(C₅H₅N)₂], is a neutral mononuclear complex. The Co^II atom, which lies on a centre of symmetry, has a distorted octahedral geometry involving two O atoms of the 3-(4-carboxyphenoxy)propionate groups, two O atoms of the 3-(4-carboxyphenoxy)propionic acid groups and two N atoms of two pyridine ligands. A two-dimensional supramolecular structure is constructed via - interactions [centroid-to-centroid distance 3.589 (3) Å] and hydrogen-bonding interactions.
