Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of tetra-aqua-bis-(isonicotinamide-κN¹)cobalt(II) succinate.

ABSTRACT: The reaction of CoCl₂ with succinic acid and isonicotinamide in basic solution produces the title complex [Co(C₆H₆N₂O)₂(H₂O)₄](C₄H₄O₄). The cobalt(II) ion of the complex cation and the succinate anion are each located on an inversion centre. The Co^II ion is octa-hedrally coordinated by four O atoms of water mol-ecules and two N atoms of isonicotinamide mol-ecules. The two ions are linked via O_water-H⋯O_succinate hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [001]. In the crystal, these hydrogen-bonded chains are linked into a three-dimensional framework by further O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The framework is reinforced by
