Tetraaquabis[2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propanoato-κO]cobalt(II) monohydrate

Abstract

The title compound, [Co(C16H13O3)2(H2O)4]·H2O, is a transition metal complex of ketoprofen [2-(3-benzoyl­phen­yl)­propanoic acid], a well known nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The asymmetric unit consists of two half-complexes and one water mol­ecule of crystallization. The CoII atoms are located on inversion centers and show an octa­hedral coordination geometry, defined by two carboxyl­ate O atoms from two ketoprofenate ligands and four water mol­ecules. The mol­ecules are connected via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
