Diaqua-bis[4-(dimethyl-amino)-benzoato]-κO,O';κO-(isonicotinamide-κN)cobalt(II).

ABSTRACT: The title Co(II) complex, [Co(C(9)H(10)NO(2))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)(H(2)O)(2)], contains two 4-dimethyl-amino-benzoate (DMAB) anions, one isonicotinamide (INA) ligand and two coordinated water mol-ecules. One of the DMAB anions acts as a bidentate ligand, while the other is monodentate. The four O atoms in the equatorial plane around the Co atom form a highly distorted square-planar arrangement, while the distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry is completed by the N atom of the INA ligand and the O atom of the second water mol-ecule in the axial positions. An intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond between the monodentate-coordinated carboxyl group and a coordinated water mol-ecule results in a six-membered ring with an envelope conformation. The dihedral angles between the carboxyl groups and
