The title compound {[Co_3(μ_3-OH)(μ_2-H_2O)2(H_2O)_5(BTC)_2] · 6H_2O}{sub n} (H{sub 3}BTC is a 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) was prepared and characterized by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and elemental analyses. The single crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the title compound consists of 1D infinite zigzag chains which were constructed by trinuclear cobalt cluster and BTC{sup 3–} ligand. Neighbouring above-mentioned 1D infinite zigzag chains are further linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonding to form a 3D supermolecular structure. In addition, the luminescent properties of the title compound were investigated.
