O)cobalt(II) tetrahydrateThe CoII atom in the title compound, [Co(C8H5O3)2(H2O)4]·4H2O, which exists in an all-trans octahedral coordination geometry, lies on a center of inversion. The coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules engage in extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions, forming a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network.
Cobalt diacetate dihydrate (2.32 g, 10 mmol) was added to an aqueous solution of 4-formylbenzoic acid (3.0 g, 20 mmol) that was earlier been treated with 1 ml pyridine to give a pH of 6. The solution was allowed to evaporate at room temperature; pink prismatic crystals separated from the filtered solution after several days. C&H elemental analysis. Calc. for C16H26O14Co: C 38.33, H 5.23%. Found: C 38.36, H 5.24%.
The carbon-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions [C–H 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) 1.2Ueq(C)], and were included in the refinement in the riding-model approximation. The water H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with distance restraints of O–H 0.85±0.01 Å and H···H 1.39±0.01 Å; their displacement parameters were freely refined.
Data collection: RAPID-AUTO (Rigaku, 1998); cell refinement: RAPID-AUTO (Rigaku, 1998); data reduction: CrystalStructure (Rigaku/MSC, 2002); program(s) used to solve structure: atomic coordinates taken from the isostructural nickel analog; program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008); molecular graphics: X-SEED (Barbour, 2001); software used to prepare material for publication: publCIF (Westrip, 2008).

Hexaaquacobalt(II) bis(4-formylbenzoate) dihydrate was isolated from the reaction of cobalt(II) acetate and 4-formylbenzoic acid in the presence of sodium hydroxide (Deng et al., 2006b). The reaction with pyridine in place of sodium hydroxide yielded the formybenzoate-coordinated title compound.
