Poly[[diaqua[μ(5)-(R,S)-2-({2-[(1,2-di­carboxyl­atoeth­yl)amino]­eth­yl}amino)­butane­dioato]cobaltate(III)sodium] di­hydrate]

In the asymmetric unit of the title coordination polymer, {[CoNa(C(10)H(12)N(2)O(8))(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O}(n), the Co(II) ion is coord­inated in a distorted octa­hedral environment, defined by two N atoms and four carboxyl­ate O atoms. Two Co(II) ions and two 2-({2-[(1,2-dicarboxyl­atoeth­yl)amino]­eth­yl}amino)­butane­dio­ate (EDDS) ligands form a dimeric complex dianion [Co(2)(EDDS)(2)]. These dimeric units are connected via Na(+) ions, forming a three-dimensional polymeric structure. In the crystal, the ligand N—H groups and the coordinated and solvent water mol­ecules are involved in inter­molecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, reinforcing the three-dimensional polymeric structure.
