Abstract

In the title compound, (C₃H₅N₂)[Co(C₄H₅NO₄)₂], the cation and anion are located on a twofold rotation axis and inversion center, respectively. Intermolecular N—H (...)

O hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions into layers parallel to the ab plane. The crystal packing also exhibits weak C—H (...)

O hydrogen bonds, including bifurcated hydrogen bonds, and C=O (...)

π interactions.
