ABSTRACT

In the title compound, [Co(NO(3))(2)(C(18)H(16)N(2)O(2))(2)](n), the Co(II) ion is located on an inversion center and is six-coordinated in an octa-hedral environment defined by four N atoms of the pyridine rings and two O atoms of the nitrate anions. The ligands link the Co(II) ions into a linear chain running along [201]. One O atom of the nitrate ligand is disordered over two positions with site-occupancy factors of 0.59 (4) and 0.41 (4).
