title: Crystal structure of poly[{μ-N,N'-bis[(pyridin-4-yl)meth-yl]oxalamide}-μ-oxalato-cobalt(II)].
abstract: In the polymeric title compound, [Co(C2O4)(C14H14N4O2)] n , the Co(II) atom is six-coordinated by two N atoms from symmetry-related bis-[(pyridin-4-yl)meth-yl]oxalamide (BPMO) ligands and four O atoms from two centrosymmetric oxalate anions in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The Co(II) atoms are linked by the oxalate anions into a chain running parallel to [100]. The chains are linked by the BPMO ligands into a three-dimensional architecture. In addition, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the crystal packing.
