The title compound, [CaCo2(C22H30N4O6)2](ClO4)2·1.36H2O or Ca[Co(H-2L1)]2·2ClO4·1.36H2O whereL1is 4,10-bis-[(3-hy-droxy-4-pyron-2-yl)meth-yl]-1,7-dimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetra-aza-cyclo-dodecane, is a trinuclear complex whose asymmetric unit comprises a quarter of the Ca[Co(H-2L1)]22+trinuclear complex, half of a perchlorate ion and 0.34-water mol-ecules. In the neutral [Co(H-2L1)] moiety, the cobalt ion is hexa-coordinated in a trigonal-prismatic fashion by the surrounding N4O2donor set. A Ca2+cation holds together two neutral [Co(H-2L1)] moieties and is octa-coordinated in a distorted trigonal-dodeca-hedral fashion by the surrounding O atoms belonging to the deprotonated oxide and carbonyl groups of two [Co(H-2L1)] units. The coordination of the CoIIcation preorganizesL1and an electron-rich area forms, which is able to host hard metal ions. The comparison between the present structure and the previously published ones suggests a high versatility of this ligand; indeed, hard metal ions with different nature and dimensions lead to complexes having different stoichiometry (mono- and dinuclear monomers and trinuclear dimers) or even a polymeric structure. The heterotrinuclear CoII-CaII-CoIIcomplexes are connected in three dimensionsviaweak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which are also responsible for the inter-actions with the perchlorate anions and the lattice water mol-ecules. The perchlorate anion is disordered about a twofold rotation axis and was refined giving the two positions a fixed occupancy factor of 0.5. The crystal studied was refined as a two-component inversion twin [BASF parameter = 0.14 (4)].

Abstract
The title compound, [CaCo2(C22H30N4O6)2](ClO4)2·1.36H2O or Ca[Co(H-2L1)]2·2ClO4·1.36H2O whereL1is 4,10-bis-[(3-hy-droxy-4-pyron-2-yl)meth-yl]-1,7-dimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetra-aza-cyclo-dodecane, is a trinuclear complex whose asymmetric unit comprises a quarter of the Ca[Co(H-2L1)]22+trinuclear complex, half of a perchlorate ion and 0.34-water mol-ecules. In the neutral [Co(H-2L1)] moiety, the cobalt ion is hexa-coordinated in a trigonal-prismatic fashion by the surrounding N4O2donor set. A Ca2+cation holds together two neutral [Co(H-2L1)] moieties and is octa-coordinated in a distorted trigonal-dodeca-hedral fashion by the surrounding O atoms belonging to the deprotonated oxide and carbonyl groups of two [Co(H-2L1)] units. The coordination of the CoIIcation preorganizesL1and an electron-rich area forms, which is able to host hard metal ions. The comparison between the present structure and the previously published ones suggests a high versatility of this ligand; indeed, hard metal ions with different nature and dimensions lead to complexes having different stoichiometry (mono- and dinuclear monomers and trinuclear dimers) or even a polymeric structure. The heterotrinuclear CoII-CaII-CoIIcomplexes are connected in three dimensionsviaweak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which are also responsible for the inter-actions with the perchlorate anions and the lattice water mol-ecules. The perchlorate anion is disordered about a twofold rotation axis and was refined giving the two positions a fixed occupancy factor of 0.5.
