Mixed single crystals of [Co(OCN{sub 2}H{sub 4}){sub 5}(H{sub 2}O)][ZnCl{sub 4}] were grown by the isothermal evaporation of an aqueous solution. The crystal structure of this complex was established by X-ray diffraction (R = 0.052 based on 7003 reflections). The crystals consist of [Co(OCN{sub 2}H{sub 4}){sub 5}(H{sub 2}O)]{sup 2+} cations containing Co atoms in an octahedral coordination and [ZnCl{sub 4}]{sup 2-}] anions containing Zn atoms in a tetrahedral coordination. The carbamide molecules are involved in both intramolecular and interionic hydrogen bonds. The H{sub 2}O molecule forms hydrogen bonds with the anions.
