The Cobalt (II) Complex constructed with 5-nitroisophthalic acid and 2,2’-bibenzimidazole, [Co(H2bibim)3](5-nipa)•H2O (1), (H2bibim =2,2’-bibenzimidazole, 5-nipa=5-nitroisophthalic acid) have been synthesized by hydrothermal methods and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Complex 1 possesses distorted CoN6 octahedrals linked by the H2bibim ligands in a bidentate chelating mode and the 5-nitroisophthalic acid groups act as counterions, and there exists a 2D supramolecular network linked by intermolecular O−H•••O and N−H•••O hydrogen-bonding interactions.
