catena-Poly[[[diaqua­hexa­pyridine-μ-sulfato-dicobalt(II)]-μ-sulfato] tetra­hydrate]

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Co₂(SO₄)₂(C₅H₅N)₆(H₂O)₂]·4H₂O, the sulfate dianion bridges a (C₅H₅N)₄Co unit to a (C₅H₅N)₂(H₂O)₂Co unit, forming a chain that runs along the a axis of the monoclinic unit cell. The Co atoms of the units lie on special positions, each of site symmetry. Adjacent chains are linked through the uncoordinated water mol­ecules into layers.
