Abstract

In the title compound, [Co(C7H4ClO2)2(C5H5N)2(H2O)], the Co(II) atom is six-coordinated by three O atoms from a bidentate and a monodentate 4-chloro-benzoate ligand, two N atoms from two pyridine ligands and a water O atom, giving a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, the complex mol-ecules are connected by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions between the benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.8924 (17) Å] into a chain along [010]. Between adjacent chains, π-π inter-actions occur between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.898 (2) Å], giving an overall two-dimensional architecture.
