In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Co(C6H12N4O3)2](NO3)2·4H2O, the CoII ion, lying on an inversion center, is O,N,O′-chelated by two nitrilotriacetamide molecules, forming a distorted octahedral geometry. In the crystal, extensive O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complex cations, nitrate anions and lattice water molecules into a three-dimensional network.

The ligand was prepared according to the literature method (Smith et al., 1995). The title compound was synthesized by adding water solution of Co(NO3)2.6H2O (291 mg, 2 mmol) to a solution of the ligand (752 mg, 4 mmol) in methanol/water (v/v 3:1, 20 ml). The mixture was stirred for 30 min at room temperature. The solution was filtered and the filtrate was allowed to stand in air for 1 week, and pink crystals were formed at the bottom of the vessel on slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature (yield: 30%).
H atoms on C and N atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.97, N—H = 0.86 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N). The water H atoms were located from a difference Fourier map and refined with restraints of O—H = 0.86 (1) Å and 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. |

Transition metal compounds have been of great interest for many years. They are very important in the development of coordination chemistry. As an extension of work on the structural characterization of Co compounds, we report here the crystal structure of a new mononuclear cobalt(II) compound.
The title compound consists of a [Co(NTA)2]2+ cation (NTA = nitrilotriacetamide), two nitrate anions and four solvent water molecules. The CoII atom has a distorted octahedral coordination environment (Fig. 1), which is centrosymmetric as the CoII atom occupies an inversion center. In the equatorial plane, the Co—N1 distance is 2.1696 (16) Å and the Co—O1 distance is 2.1057 (14) Å. The axial Co—O2 bond is appreciably shortened, which is 2.0329 (14) Å. In the crystal, extensive O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the complex cations, nitrate anions and lattice water molecules into a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2).
