A tetranuclear Co III oxide complex with cubane topology, tetrakis(2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ 2 N , N ′)di‐μ 2 ‐carbonato‐κ 4 O : O ′‐tetra‐μ 3 ‐oxido‐tetracobalt(III) pentadecahydrate, [Co 4 (CO 3 ) 2 O 4 (C 10 H 8 N 2 ) 4 ]·15H 2 O, with an unbounded hydrogen‐bonded water layer, has been synthesized by reaction of CoCO 3 and 2,2′‐bipyridine. The solvent water molecules form a hydrogen‐bonded net with tetrameric and pentameric water clusters as subunits. The Co 4 O 4 cubane‐like cores are sandwiched between the water layers, which are further stacked into a three‐dimensional metallo‐supramolecular network.
