S. H. Zhang, C. M. Ge and C. Feng

Abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C₈H₈NO₃)₂], the Co^II atom lies on a centre of inversion and is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry by two N and two O atoms from the 2-hydroxyiminomethyl-6-methoxyphenolate ligands. Intramolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds are formed and the complexes form stacks along the b axis, with an interplanar separation of 3.332 (1) Å between complexes. Pairs of C-HO contacts are formed between complexes in neighbouring stacks.
