Abstract: In the title compound, {[Co(C₇H₃NO₅)(C₁₃H₁₄N₂)(H₂O)]·2H₂O}_n, the Co^II atom is coordinated by two O atoms from a pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate N-oxide ligand, two N atoms from two 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane ligands and one water molecule, and displays a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane ligands link the Co^II atoms into an infinite zigzag chain parallel to [010]. The chains are further linked through O-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
