title: Diaqua-bis(pyridine-2-carboxyl-ato-κN,O)cobalt(II).
abstract: In the mol-ecule of the title compound, [Co(C(6)H(4)NO(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the coordination environment around the Co(II) atom is distorted octahedral; two N and two O atoms of the pyridine-2-carboxylate ligands lie in the equatorial plane and the two water O atoms in the axial positions. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules, forming a supra-moleular network structure.
