A red block-shaped crystal of the title compound, [Co(HCOO)2(C12H10N4)2] n , was obtained by the reaction of cobalt(II) nitrate hexa-hydrate, formic acid and 1,1'-(1,4-phenyl-ene)bis-(1H-imidazole) (bib) mol-ecules. The asymmetric unit consists of one Co(II) cation, one formate ligand and two halves of a bib ligand. The central Co(II) cation, located on an inversion centre, is coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms and four N atoms from bib ligands, completing an octa-hedral coordination geomet ...[more]
