Crystal structure of a Co^II coordination polymer: catena-poly[[μ-aqua-bis-(μ-2-methyl-propano-ato)-κ²O:O';κ²O:O-cobalt(II)] monohydrate].

ABSTRACT: In the title cobalt(II) coordination polymer with isobutyrate ligands, {[Co{CH(CH₃)₂CO₂}₂(H₂O)]·H₂O} _n , the Co²⁺ ion is hexa-coordinated in a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment defined by two O atoms from two bridging water mol-ecules and four O atoms from four bridging carboxyl-ate ligands. The carboxyl-ates adopt two different coordination modes, μ-(κ²O:O') and μ-(κ²O:O), forming a one-dimensional polymeric chain extending along [010]. The intra-chain cobalt⋯cobalt separation is 3.2029 (2) Å. The polymeric chains are linked by hydrogen bonds involving the water mol-ecules of solvation, giving a two-dimensional network struc
