Description
Summary:In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Co2(C12H10O2P)4(C5H5N)4(H2O)2], each approximately octa­hedral Co atom features two trans‐coordinated pyridine mol­ecules, one water mol­ecule, a terminally coordinated monodentate diphenyl­phosphinate ligand, and two bidentate diphenyl­phosphinate ligands that bridge the two Co atoms across a centre of inversion to form a dimeric binuclear complex. The discrete mol­ecules are linked by double hydrogen bonds between the terminally coordinated diphenyl­phosphinate ligand and the water mol­ecule to form a continuous chain along the crystallographic b axis.
