Several reactions between cobalt(II) bromide and 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine with molar ratio 1 : 2 were performed. Different solvents were used – acetone, dried and not dried acetonitrile. Three novel coordination compounds were obtained and characterized by means of infrared spectroscopy, thermal and elemental analysis, and X-ray powder diffraction. By use of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, the crystal structures of all three new compounds were determined.
