In the title compound, [Co(C12H9O2)2(C4H6N2)2(H2O)2], the CoII ion is located on an inversion centre and displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. Two O atoms from two water molecules and two carboxylate O atoms from two 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)acetate ligands are in the equatorial plane and two N atoms from two 1-methyl-1H-imidazole ligands are in the axial positions. The structure is stabilized by intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules into chains along [100].

The title compound was synthesized by the reaction of CoCl2.6H2O (71.3 mg, 0.3 mmol), 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)acetic acid (93 mg, 0.5 mmol), N-methylimidazole (32.8 mg, 0.4 mmol) and NaOH (20 mg, 0.5 mmol) in 15 ml of a water-ethanol mixture (v/v 1:1) under solvothermal conditions. The starting mixture was homogenized and transferred into a sealed Teflon-lined bomb (25 ml) and heated at 140° C for three days. After cooling, red crystals of the title compound were obtained, which were washed with distilled water and absolute ethyl alcohol (yield: 26.8% based on Co).
H atoms attached to C atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 (CH), 0.97 (CH2) and 0.96 (CH3) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2(1.5 for methyl)Ueq(C). The water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined with a restraint of O—H = 0.85 (1) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

In recent years 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)acetate ligand has attracted many interests in coordination chemistry due to its ability to form metal complexes (Duan et al., 2007; Ji et al., 2011; Tang et al., 2006; Yang et al., 2008; Yin et al., 2011). The crystal structure of the title compound was determined as part of an ongoing study of the properties of cobalt complexes containing imidazole ligands.
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the CoII ion is located on an inversion centre and displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. Two O atoms from two water molecules and two carboxylate O atoms from two 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)acetate ligands are in the equatorial plane and two N atoms from two N-methylimidazole ligands are in the axial positions. The structure is stabilized by intramolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1). In the crystal, intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules into chains along [100] (Fig. 2).
