The title compound, [Co(C6H5N2O2)2(CH4O)2], is isomorphous with the analogous Ni complex [Okabe & Tamaki (1995). Acta Cryst. C51, 2004-2005]. The Co atom lies on an inversion center and the coordination environment is slightly distorted octahedral. The metal-O bonds are somewhat longer than in the Ni complex. The crystal is built up by infinite one-dimensional chains of hydrogen bonded molecules.
