title: Bis(ethyl-enediamine-κN,N')(nitrato-κO,O')cobalt(III) hydroxide nitrate.
abstract: The Co ion in the title salt, [Co(NO(3))(H(2)NCH(2)CH(2)NH(2))(2)](OH)(NO(3)), has oxidation state + III and is coordinated by four N atoms from two ethyl-enediamine mol-ecules and two O atoms from a nitrate anion in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The charge of the complex cation is balanced by a hydroxide anion and a nitrate anion. The cations and anions are connected by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three-dimensional supra-molecular framework. There are two independent ion pairs with similar configurations in the unit cell. Both uncoordinated nitrate counter-anions are disordered.
