Bis(2-amino­pyridine-κN (1))bis­(benzoato-κO)cobalt(II)

In the title compound, [Co(C(7)H(5)O(2))(2)(C(5)H(6)N(2))(2)], the Co(II) atom is hexa­coordinated by four O atoms from two benzoate anions, and two N atoms from two 2-amino­pyridine mol­ecules, resulting in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. Both benzoate anions act as bidentate ligands and both 2-amino­pyridine mol­ecules are coordinated to the metal through their pyridyl N atoms. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, C—H⋯π, and π–π stacking inter­actions involving benzoate anions and 2-amino­pyridine mol­ecules.
