Abstract

In the title compound, [Co(C17H14O6)(C12H8N2)(H2O)]n, the CoII atom is coordinated by a monodentate 4,4′-(propane-1,3-diyldi­oxy)dibenzoate (cpp) dianion, a water mol­ecule and a chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand. A symmetry-generated cpp ligand completes the CoN2O3 trigonal-bipyramidal geometry for the metal ion, with the N atoms occupying both equatorial and axial sites. The bridging cpp ligands form chains propagating in [110] and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds consolidate the packing.
