In the structure of the title compound, [Co4(C2O4)(PO4)2(H2O)2]n, there are layers composed of the phosphate anions and two independent CoII cations. These layers are parallel to (001) and are bridged by the oxalate anions that are situated in special positions on centres of symmetry. One independent Co atom has an octahedral coordination, while the second independent Co atom is coordinated in a trigonal–bipyramidal coordination that includes the water molecule. The crystal packing is stabilized by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water molecules and oxalate O atoms.

A mixture of Co(ClO4)2.6H2O (0.1830 g, 0.5 mmol), H2C2O4.2H2O (0.2521 g, 2 mmol), Na4P2O7.10H2O (0.8921 g, 2 mmol) and distilled water (10 ml) was placed into a 23 ml teflon-lined autoclave. The mixture was then heated for 72 h at 425 K. The insoluble purple crystals of the title structure were separated by filtration. The crystals were of rectangular plate-like shape with the average size of 0.4 × 0.3 × 0.1 mm.
The H atoms from the water molecule were located in the difference Fourier map and refined with the distance restraints O—H=0.84 (1), H—H=1.33 (2) Å, and with Uiso(H)=1.5Ueq(O).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

A new class of metal phosphate-oxalates framework structures has been discovered in recent years. In this new class the anions [PO4]3- (or [HPO4]2-) and [C2O4]2- act as bridging groups that link up with the metal atoms. Both main-group metals (Al, Ga, In, Sn) and transition metals (V, Mn, Fe, Co, Mo) are reported in these systems (Lethbridge et al., 2004). Among these, to the best of our knowledge there is only one example containing CoII: [C4N2H12]0.5[Co2(HPO4)(C2O4)1.5] (Choudhury & Natarajan, 2000). Here we report the synthesis and the crystal structure of a new oxalate phosphate framework structure containing CoII, [Co4(C2O4)(PO4)2(H2O)2].
The asymmetric unit of the title structure contains two independent Co cations (Fig. 1). Co1 is octahedrally coordinated by six oxygen atoms and Co2 is coordinated by 5 O atoms in a trigonal-bipyramidal configuration. Each phosphate acts as a multiple bridging group, binding six Co atoms to compose the inorganic layer structure. The oxalate group is situated on an inversion centre and links up with two adjacent inorganic layers. The water molecule is coordinated to Co2 (Fig. 2).
