title: Tetra-aqua-bis-(6-chloro-pyridine-3-carboxyl-ato-κO)cobalt(II) tetra-hydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C(6)H(3)ClNO(2))(2)(H(2)O)(4)]·4H(2)O, the Co(II) cation is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by four water mol-ecules and two 6-chloro-pyridine-3-carboxyl-ate anions in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, complex mol-ecules and lattice water mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
