Catena-Poly[[diaquabis[(4-chlorophenylsulfinyl)acetato-κO]cobalt(II)]-μ-4,4′-bipyridine-κ2N:N′

Abstract

In the title coordination polymer, [Co(C8H6ClO3S)2(C10H8N2)(H2O)2]n, the CoII atom exists in an octa­hedral coordination environment formed by two carboxylate O atoms from two (4-chloro­phenyl­sulfin­yl)acetate ligands, two N atoms from bipyridine ligands and two water mol­ecules. The CoII atom lies on a twofold rotation axis. Bridging by the bipyridine ligand leads to a linear chain structure, and inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the chains into a three-dimensional network.
