Abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C₁₀H₄O₈)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)₃]·H₂O, the Co atom has an octahedral coordination geometry, involving three aqua O atoms, one carboxylate O atom and two N atoms from a 1,10-phenathroline (phen) molecule. O-HO hydrogen bonds involving dihydrogen-1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate (H₂TCB) anions, aqua ligands and uncoordinated water molecules, along with - interactions between the phen and aromatic rings of symmetry-related H₂TCB anions, link the mononuclear units into a three-dimensional network structure.
