In the title compound, [Co(C(10)H(8)N(2))(3)][Mo(6)O(19)], the Co(2+) cation is surrounded in a distorted octa-hedral coordination by six N atoms from three 2,2'-bipyridine ligands. The distribution of Mo-O bond lengths in the Lindqvist isopolyanion is consistent with other structures containing the same unit. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked by C-H⋯O inter-actions.
