4O1,O2:O1',O2']In the title compound, [Co(C2O4)(C10H8N2)]n, the oxalate group chelates two adjacent metal atoms, resulting in a zigzag chain running along the a axis. The CoII centre exists in an all cis-octahedral coordination geometry.
An aqueous solution of 2M sodium hydroxide (0.2 ml) was added to a water/DMF (2:7 v/v) solution (9 ml) of cobalt(II) oxalate dihdyrate (0.01 g, 0.05 mmol) and 2,2'-bipyridine (0.01 g, 0.05 mmol). Pink blocks separated from the solution after several days in 30% yield. CH&N elemental analysis. Calculated for C12H8CoN2O4: C 47.55, H 2.66, N 9.24%. Found: C 47.27, H 2.94, N 9.40%.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2U(C).
