Abstract

In the title compound, [Co(C(17)H(12)F(3)O(3))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)], the Co(II) ion is situated on a twofold rotation axis, coordinated by four O atoms from two 1-[4-(benz-yloxy)phen-yl]-4,4,4-trifluoro-butane-1,3-dionate(1-) (L) ligands and two N atoms from two pyridine ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The two pyridine rings form a dihedral angle of 84.63 (7)°. The two benzene rings in L are twisted at 58.83 (5)°. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds consolidate the crystal packing.
