Abstract: The Co^II atom in the title coordination polymer, [Co(C₉H₆O₅)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)]_n, displays a distorted octahedral geometry defined by three carboxyl O atoms from two independent 4-carboxyphenoxyacetate groups, two N atoms from one 1,10-phenanthroline molecule and one water molecule. The Co^II atoms are bridged by carboxylate groups in monodentate and bidentate modes, forming a chain structure. Adjacent polymeric chains are connected via hydrogen-bond interactions into a double-chain structure. Furthermore, these chains are stacked through - interactions to construct a two-dimensional supramolecular network.
