Abstract: The title molecule, [Co₂(C₈H₇O₂)₄(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)], is a dinuclear Co^II complex which is located on a twofold symmetry axis. Each Co^II ion is six-coordinated by three O atoms of different phenylacetate ligands, two N atoms of the 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and one O atom of a water molecule, giving a distorted octahedral geometry. The two Co^II atoms are bridged by two phenylacetate groups and the water molecule lying on the twofold axis. The CoCo distance is 3.553 (2) Å. A one-dimensional supramolecular chain is constructed by [pi] - [pi] stacking interactions between adjacent 1,10-phenanthroline molecules.
