The title compound, [Co(4)(C(4)H(4)O(5))(4)(C(7)H(6)N(2))(8)]·20H(2)O, consists of tetra-nuclear Co(II) complexes and disordered uncoordinated water mol-ecules. The tetra-meric complex mol-ecule has symmetry. While two benzimidazole mol-ecules and a tridentate malate dianion coordinate a Co(II) ion, the carboxylate O atom from an adjacent malate dianion bridges the Co(II) ions to complete a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The tridentate malate dianion chelates the Co(II) ion, and th ...[more]
