Poly[[{μ2-5-[(di-methyl-amino)(thioxo)meth-oxy]benzene-1,3-di-carboxyl-ato-κ4 O 1,O 1':O 3,O 3'}(μ2-4,4'-di-pyridyl-amine-κ2 N 4:N 4')cobalt(II)] di-methyl-formamide hemisolvate monohydrate].

In the crystal structure of the title compound, {[Co(C11H9NSO5)(C10H9N3)]0.5C3H7NO·H2O} n or {[Co(dmtb)(dpa)]·0.5DMF·H2O} n (dmtb2- = 5-[(di-meth-yl-amino)-thioxometh-oxy]-1,3-benzene-dicarboxyl-ate and dpa = 4,4'-di-pyridyl-amine), an assembly of periodic [Co(C11H9NSO5)(C10H9N3)] n layers extending parallel to the bc plane is present. Each layer is constituted by distorted [CoO4N2] octa-hedra, which are connected through the μ 2-coordination modes of both dmtb2- and dpa ligands. Occupationally disordered water and di-meth-yl-formamide (DMF) solvent mol-ecules are located in the voids of the network to which they are connected through hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.
