title: A novel one-dimensional coordination polymer, catena-poly[[diaquacobalt(II)]-mu-(2,2'-bipyridyl-3,3'-dicarboxylato-kappa4N,N':O,O')].
abstract: The title compound, [Co(C(12)H(6)N(2)O(4))(H(2)O)(2)](n), has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. It consists of polymeric chains of [Co(mu-(2,2'-bipyridyl-3,3'-dicarboxylato-kappa(4)N,N':O,O'))(H(2)O)(2)] units, in which each Co(II) cation is octahedrally coordinated by two chelating pyridyl N atoms, two chelating carboxyl O atoms from different carboxylate groups of another bipyridyl ligand, and two water molecules as terminal ligands. A crystallographic twofold axis parallel to the chain axis, passes through the Co atom.
