The title compound, [Co(C7H6NO2)2(H2O)4] x 4 H2O, contains a Co(II) ion lying on a crystallographic inversion centre. The Co(II) ion is octahedrally coordinated by two 6-methylpyridine-3-carboxylate ligands in axial positions [Co-O = 2.0621 (9) A] and by four water molecules in the equatorial plane [Co-O = 2.1169 (9) and 2.1223 (11) A]. There are also four uncoordinated water molecules. The 6-methylpyridine-3-carboxylate ligands are bound to the Co(II) ion in a monodentate manner through a carboxylate O atom. There is one strong intramolecular O-H...O hydrogen bond, and six strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds of type O-H...O and one of type O-H...N in the packing, resulting in a complex three-dimensional supramolecular structure.

Stabilizing large easy-axis type magnetic anisotropy in molecular complexes is a challenging task, yet it is crucial for the development of information storage devices and applications in molecular spintronics. Achieving this requires a deep understanding of electronic structure and the relationships between structure and properties to develop magneto-structural correlations that are currently unexplored in the literature. Herein, a series of five-coordinate distorted square pyramidal Co complexes [Co(L)(X)].

Water pollution because of the presence of heavy metals remains a serious worry. The present work demonstrates the exclusion of cobalt ion (or Co(II)) from water using novel and cost-effective biosorbents. Initially, the biosorbent was chemically modified using orthophosphoric acid and then subjected to calcination to result acid modified date seed biochar (AMDB).

Fusarium solani biomass plays a significant role in water pollution remediation due to its ability to sequester heavy metals, particularly cobalt (Co(II)) and cadmium (Cd(II)), which pose severe environmental and health risks. This study aimed to identify fungi from sewage-contaminated sites and evaluate their efficiency in absorbing and reducing Co(II) and Cd(II) ions. The biosorption potential of irradiated Fusarium solani biomass for removing Co(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions was investigated.

A search for switchable molecules has afforded a family of cobalt complexes featuring derivatives of 2-aminophenol: 4,6-di--butyl aminophenol (HL) and 2-anilino-4,6-di--butyl aminophenol (HL). The heteroleptic cobalt complexes incorporate a Metpa ligand (tpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine; = 0-3), which involves the methylation of the 6-position of the pyridine ring). Eight members of this family have been synthesized and characterized: [Co(HL)(tpa)](BPh) (), [Co(HL)(Metpa)](BPh) (), [Co(L)(Metpa)](BPh) (), [Co(HL)(Metpa)](BPh) (), [Co(L)(Metpa)](BPh) (), [Co(HL)(tpa)] (BPh)(ClO) (), [Co(L)(tpa)](BPh)(ClO) () and [Co(HL)(Metpa)](BPh) (), where the aminophenol-derived ligands are monoanionic in either the open shell radical iminosemiquinonate (L) or the closed shell protonated aminophenolate (HL).
