Abstract: The title complex, [Co(C₁₂H₉N₂O₃S)₂]·2H₂O, has site symmetry 2 with the Co^II cation located on a twofold rotation axis. Two tridentate 2-(2-pyridylmethyleneamino)benzenesulfonate (paba) ligands chelate to the Co^II cation in a distorted octahedral geometry. The pyridine and benzene rings in the paba ligand are oriented at a dihedral angle of 42.86 (13)°. Intermolecular O-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
