The [Co{sub 2}L{sub 4}(C{sub 4}H{sub 9}COO){sub 4}(H{sub 2}O)] coordination compound of cobalt(II) valerate with nicotinamide (L) is synthesized and studied by IR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of the synthesized compound is determined. The crystals are triclinic, and the unit cell parameters are as follows: a = 10.2759(10) A, b = 16.3858(10) A, c = 16.4262(10) A, {alpha} = 100.538(10) deg., {beta} = 101.199(10) deg., {gamma} = 90.813 (10) deg., Z = 2, and space group P1-bar. The structural units of the crystal are dimeric molecular complexes in which pairs of cobalt atoms are linked by triple bridges formed by oxygen atoms of two bidentately coordinated valerate anions and a water molecule. The octahedral coordination of each cobalt atom is complemented by the pyridine nitrogen atoms of two nicotinamide ligands and the oxygen atom of the monodentate valerate group. The hydrocarbon chains of the valerate anions are disordered over two or three positions each.
