A dinuclear CoII complex: bis(mu-dihydrogen phosphato-kappa2O:O')bis[(bipyridine-kappa2N,N')(dihydrogen phosphato-kappaO)cobalt(II)].
The title compound, [Co2(H2PO4)4(C10H8N2)2], is dinuclear, centred on a symmetry centre of the P1 space group. Each Co atom has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination involving two N atoms from a bipyridine molecule and three O atoms from two bridging and one terminal dihydrogen orthophosphate anion. The molecular structure and packing are stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen-bond interactions.
