Abstract

The title compound, (C6H9N2)2[Co(C6H2N2O4)2(H2O)2]·8H2O, was obtained by the reaction of CoCl2·6H2O with 1,4-pyrazine-2,3-dicarb­oxy­lic acid and 2-amino-6-methyl­pyridine in aqueous solution (molar ratio 1:2:2). The CoII ion is situated on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two O and two N atoms of two symmetry-related 1,4-pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxyl­ate ligands and two water mol­ecules and has a disorted octa­hedral coordination environment. The asymmetric unit also contains four water mol­ecules. In the crystal, extensive inter­molecular classical N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.490 (1) Å] connect the various components, forming a three-dimensional network.
