The title complex, [Co2(C2F3O2)4(C5H5N)4(H2O)], crystallizes as a neutral dinuclear mol­ecule with two crystallographically distinct octa­hedrally coordinated CoII ions in the asymmetric unit. The metal ions are connected by two μ2-bridging trifluoro­acetate ions and a single μ2-bridging water mol­ecule. Each cobalt(II) coordination sphere is completed by a further trifluoroacetate ion, which coordinates in a monodentate manner, and also by two pyridine mol­ecules, resulting in local cis-CoN2O4 coordination. The water mol­ecule H atoms participate in intra­molecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds to the pendant O atoms of the monodentate trifluoro­acetate ligands.
