Poly[[octaaqua-μ4-(benzene-1,2,4,5-tetra-carboxyl-ato)-dicobalt(II)] octa-hydrate].
The title polymeric coordination compound, {[Co2(C10H2O8)(H2O)8]·8H2O} n , was obtained by slow diffusion of a dilute aqueous solution of CoCl2 and the sodium salt of benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid (H4btec) through an agar-agar gel bridge in a U-shaped tube. The two independent Co(2+) ions are each situated on an inversion centre and are coordinated in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry by four water O atoms and two carboxyl-ate O atoms from two btec(4-) ligands (-1> symmetry), forming a layer parallel to (11-1). This layer can be described as a mol-ecular two-dimensional square grid with the benzene rings at the nodes and the Co(II) atoms connecting the nodes. O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the coordinating water molecules, the carboxylate O atoms and lattice water molecules lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
