In the title com-pound, {[Co(C 9 H 6 O 4 )(H 2 O)]·0.5C 16 H 20 N 4 ·0.5H 2 O} n , two-di-men-sional coordination polymer slabs are held together in the three-dimensional crystal structure by means of O-H⋯N hydrogen bonding between bound water mol-ecules and pyridyl N atoms of cocrystallized 1,4-bis-(pyridin-4-yl-meth-yl)piperazine mol-ecules.
