title: Tris(2,2'-bipyridine-κN,N')cobalt(III) octa-cyanido-tungstate(V).
abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C(10)H(8)N(2))(3)][W(CN)(8)], the Co atom (..2 site symmetry) is coordinated by six N atoms from three 2,2'-bipyridine ligands in an octa-hedral geometry; the Co-N bond distances range from 1.926 (2) to 1.939 (2) Å. The W (..2 site symmetry) metal center is coordinated by eight cyanide ligands, resulting in a dodeca-hedral conformation with W-C distances in the range 1.165 (3)-2.176 (3) Å. The cations and anions are linked into a three-demensional structure by weak C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
