Abstract: The title compound, [Co(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)₄]₂(C₁₀H₂O₈), consists of discrete tetraaqua(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) cations and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate anions. The Co^II atom is octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and four O atoms of water molecules. The anion lies on an inversion centre. A two-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network is formed by O atoms of benzenetetracarboxylate and the coordinated water molecules.
