Diaqua-bis-(3-nitro-benzoato-κO)bis-[1H-5-(3-pyrid-yl)-3-(4-pyrid-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-κN]cobalt(II) dihydrate.

In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Co(C(7)H(4)NO(4))(2)(C(12)H(9)N(5))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O, the Co(II) atom, located on an inversion center, is coordinated by two N atoms [Co-N = 2.155†(3)†à ] and four O atoms [Co-O = 2.099†(2)-2.117†(3)†à ] in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional supramolecular framework.
