✦ Synopsis

In the title compound, [Co(C~9~H~8~NO~4~)~2~(H~2~O)~4~]·4H~2~O, the Co atom lies on an inversion centre in an octahedral environment that is formed from two O atoms of two 2,6-dimethylpyridinium-3,5-dicarboxylate monoanions and four water molecules. Hydrogen bonds that involve the pyridinium NH groups and both coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules give rise to an infinite three-dimensional network.
