Abstract
The title compound, [Co(H2O)(6)](CH3C6H4SO3)(2), has a structure where the metal atom is surrounded by six molecules of water forming the cation and t he anion is deprotonated 4-toluenesulfonic acid. The Co atom is in a nearly regular octahedral coordination geometry, with Co-O distances between 2.05 29 (14) and 2.0810 (16) Angstrom, and angles ranging from 87.25 (9) to 92.7 5 (9)degrees. The supramolecular structure consists of parallel layers of c ations and anions. The anions are arranged with their sulfonate groups dire cted towards the cation layer in an alternating fashion and form hydrogen b onds with the water molecules of the cation.
