X.-L. Feng and Y.-P. Zhang

Abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C₈H₆N₃)₂(C₂H₈N₂)]NO₃·H₂O, the Co^III ion is coordinated by four N atoms from two 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3-imidazol-1-ide ligands and two N atoms of ethylenediamine in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the crystal, classical N-HN(O) and O-HN(O) hydrogen bonds connect all the isolated components together to yield a three-dimensional structure.
