Abstract :
In the title coordination polymer, [Co(C3H3O4)Cl(H2O)]n, the sixfold coordination environment of the CoII atom consists of two O atoms from a chelating hydrogen malonate anion (HMal−), one O atom originating from a μ2-bridging malonate ligand (HMal−), one O atom from a water molecule and two μ2-bridging Cl− atoms, connecting neighbouring Co2Cl4 motifs into a two-dimensional polymer extending parallel to (001). Interlayer O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the layers into a three-dimensional network.
