(Adipato-κ(2) O,O')di-aqua-[bis-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)amine]-cobalt(II) trihydrate.

In the monomeric title complex, [Co(C6H8O4)(C10H9N3)(H2O)2]·3H2O, the distorted octa-hedral CoN2O4 coordination environment comprises two N-atom donors from the bidentate di-pyridyldi-amine ligand, two O-atom donors from one of the carboxyl-ate groups of the bidentate chelating adipate ligand and two water mol-ecules. In addition, there are three solvent water mol-ecules which are involved in both intra- and inter-unit O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, which together with an amine-water N-H⋯O hydrogen bond produce a three-dimensional framework.
