Di-μ-acetato-μ-aqua-bis­[acetatobis(1H-benzimidazole)cobalt(II)]

In the title compound, [Co(2)(C(2)H(3)O(2))(4)(C(7)H(6)N(2))(4)(H(2)O)], the half-mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit is completed by a crystallographic twofold rotation axis to give the full mol­ecule. The Co(II) ions are approximately octahedrally coordinated with a cis-N(2)O(4) coordination sphere. The compound features intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the non-bridging acetate groups and the bridging water mol­ecule, and inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the acetates and amine H atoms of the benzimidazoles which determine the mol­ecular packing in the crystal structure.
