✦ Synopsis
The structure of the title complex, [Co(C 8 H 7 O 3 ) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ], has been redetermined in the space group C2/c. The original report [Xiao, Lan, Zhang & Jiang (2002). Guangxi Shifan Daxue Xuebao Ziran Kexueban (J. Guangxi Normal Univ.), 20, 81-83] declared the space group to be Cc. The molecule lies on a twofold axis; the vanillinate anion chelates to the Co II atom through the methoxy and hydroxy groups. The Co-O methoxy bond is longer than the Co-O hydroxy bond by 0.2673 (18) A ˚.
