Bis(2,2′-bipyridyl-κ²N,N′)(sulfato-κ²O,O′)cobalt(II) ethane-1,2-diol monosolvate

Abstract

The title compound, [Co(SO4)(C10H8N2)2]·C2H6O2, has the Co2+ ion in a distorted octa­hedral CoN4O2 coordination geometry. A twofold rotation axis passes through the Co and S atoms, and through the mid-point of the C—C bond of the ethane­diol mol­ecule. In the crystal, the [CoSO4(C10H8N2)2] and C2H6O2 units are held together by a pair of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
