Abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C₇H₂N₂O₇)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂], the Co^II atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two 2,2'-bipyridine ligands and two O atoms from a 3,5-dinitro-2-oxidobenzoate ligand, displaying a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The crystal structure involves C-HO hydrogen bonds between the 2,2'-bipyridine ligands and the carboxylate and NO₂ groups of the 3,5-dinitro-2-oxidobenzoate ligand.
