In the title compound, [Co(H2O)6](C9H7O4)2·2H2O, the Co2+ cation lies on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by six water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the 5-acetyl-2-hydroxybenzoate anion, the hydroxy group links with the carboxylate group via an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond and the acetyl group is twisted to the benzene ring at a dihedral angle of 16.99 (12)°. In the the cations, anions and water molecules are linked by extensive O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding.

Cobalt dichloride 0.47 g (2 mmol) was added to the solution (ethanol:water = 3:1, pH = 7) containing 5-acetyl-2-hydroxybenzoic acid 0.72 g (4 mmol) and sodium hydroxide 0.16 g (4 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at 333–343 K and then the solution was filtered off. Red crystals of the title salt suitable for X-ray structure analysis were obtained from the filtered solution after a week.
The water H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with distance restraints of O—H = 0.84 (1) and H···H = 1.37 (1) Å with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). The other H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93–0.97 and O—H = 0.82 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(aromatic C) and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(hydroxyl O, methyl C).The crystal structures of hexaaquacobalt(II) carboxylate hydrate have been decribed (Zhang et al., 2011; Wang et al., 2011). We obtained unexpectedly the
of the title hexaaquacobalt(II) bis(5-acetyl-2-hydroxybenzoate) dihydrate in the preparation of cobalt(II) 5-acetyl-2-hydroxybenzoate complex, we report here the of the title salt.In the molecule, the
consist of half cobalt atom, three coordinated water molecules, one benzoic anion and one uncoordinated water molecule(Fig. 1), forming an axisymmetric structure and a coordinated octahedron of six water molecules around metal cobalt centrer generated by 2-fold rotation axis (1/2 1/4 z) across the Co1 atom, the midpoint of atoms O1 and O1i and the midpoint of atoms O3 and O3i [symmetry code: (i). 1 - x, 1/2 – y, z].The equatorial plane of the octahedron is defined by atoms O1, O3, O1i and O3i with deviations of 0.0666 (12)Å for atom O1 and 0.0624 (11)Å for atom O3, and atom Co1 is located in the equatorial plane accurately; axis positions are occupied by atoms O2 and O2i. The equatorial Co — O bond distances are 2.0888 (15) and 2.0900 (15) Å, axial Co — O bond distance is 2.0985 (16) Å, axial O — Co — O bond angle O2 — Co1 — O2i = 173.95 (7)°, the maximum equatorial O — Co — O bond angle O1 — Co1 — O3i = 174.85 (6)°, the all other O — Co — O bond angles range from 87.42 (6) to 95.11 (6)°(Table 1).
In
cations, anions and uncoordinated water molecules are linked into a two-dimensional by O — H ··· O hydrogen bonds (Table. 2), neighbouring two-dimensional structure exist no any O—H···O hydrogen bond interactions.For related cobalt salts, see: Wang et al. (2011); Zhang et al. (2011).

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. |

The crystal structures of hexaaquacobalt(II) carboxylate hydrate have been decribed (Zhang et al., 2011; Wang et al., 2011). We obtained unexpectedly the crystal structure of the title hexaaquacobalt(II) bis(5-acetyl-2-hydroxybenzoate) dihydrate in the preparation of cobalt(II) 5-acetyl-2-hydroxybenzoate complex, we report here the crystal structure of the title salt.
In the molecule, the asymmetric unit consist of half cobalt atom, three coordinated water molecules, one benzoic anion and one uncoordinated water molecule(Fig. 1), forming an axisymmetric structure and a coordinated octahedron of six water molecules around metal cobalt centrer generated by 2-fold rotation axis (1/2 1/4 z) across the Co1 atom, the midpoint of atoms O1 and O1i and the midpoint of atoms O3 and O3i [symmetry code: (i). 1 - x, 1/2 – y, z].
The equatorial plane of the octahedron is defined by atoms O1, O3, O1i and O3i with deviations of 0.0666 (12)Å for atom O1 and 0.0624 (11)Å for atom O3, and atom Co1 is located in the equatorial plane accurately; axis positions are occupied by atoms O2 and O2i. The equatorial Co — O bond distances are 2.0888 (15) and 2.0900 (15) Å, axial Co — O bond distance is 2.0985 (16) Å, axial O — Co — O bond angle O2 — Co1 — O2i = 173.95 (7)°, the maximum equatorial O — Co — O bond angle O1 — Co1 — O3i = 174.85 (6)°, the all other O — Co — O bond angles range from 87.42 (6) to 95.11 (6)°(Table 1).
In crystal structure, cations, anions and uncoordinated water molecules are linked into a two-dimensional crystal structure by O — H ··· O hydrogen bonds (Table. 2), neighbouring two-dimensional structure exist no any O—H···O hydrogen bond interactions.
