The title compound [systematic name: 3,3′,6,6′-tetra­hydroxy-4,4′-dimethyl-1,1′-bi(cyclo­hexa-3,6-diene)-2,2′,5,5′-tetra­one], C14H10O8, was isolated from Tremella fuciformis. The mol­ecule has 2 symmetry, with the mid-point of the C—C bond linking the cyclo­hexa­dienedione rings located on a twofold rotation axis. In the mol­ecule, the ring is approximately planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0093 Å, and the two rings make a dihedral angle of 67.89 (5)°. Inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding occurs in the crystal structure.

The title coordination compound, {[Co(C11H15O3)4(C10H8N2)2(H2O)]·7H2O}n, consists of a pair of CoII atoms, four 3-hy­droxy­adamantane-1-carboxyl­ate anions (L), one water mol­ecule, two bridging 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy) ligands and seven uncoordinated water mol­ecules. Both of the CoII ions are coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. Four L ligands bind to each pair of CoII atoms in a plane, two of which bridge the two CoII atoms as bidentate groups while the other two coordinate to a single CoII atom in a monodentate mode. Two half-mol­ecules of 4,4′-bipyridine coordinate the CoII atoms from the upside and underside. The packing features extensice O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding.

The complete mol­ecule of the title compound, C16H14N4, is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating (001) sheets. Weak aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.7383 (13) and 3.7935 (14) Å] are also observed.
