| pubmed-article:21582386 | pubmed:abstractText | The reaction of Co(NO(3))(2)·3H(2)O with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid and 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole in a 1:1:3 molar ratio affords the title complex, [Co(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(C(5)H(8)N(2))(3)]·H(2)O. The Co(II) atom is coordinated by one pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate chelating ligand and three 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the coordinated carboxylate group, 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole and water help to consolidate the crystal structure. | lld:pubmed |
