Abstract: In the title compound, {[Co(C₁₃H₁₄N₂)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂·2C₁₃H₁₄N₂·2C₇H₈N₂O₂}_n, the Co^II ion lies on a crystallographic inversion center and is coordinated by four N atoms from four symmetry-related 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane ligands and two O atoms from two water ligands in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment. The 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane ligands are doubly bridging and connect the Co^II ions into one-dimensional chains. The asymmetric unit also contains one uncoordinated 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane molecule, one 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline molecule and one perchlorate anion. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-HN hydrogen bonds connect the one-dimensional chains into a two-dimensional network.
