Abstract: In the title compound, [Co(SO₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]·C₂H₆O₂, a twofold rotation axis passes through the Co and S atoms, and through the mid-point of the solvent C-C bond. The coordination environment of the Co^II centre is a distorted CoN₄O₂ octahedron, with four N atoms from two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two O atoms from a bidentate sulfate ligand. The two chelating N₂C₂ groups are oriented at 70.16 (6)° to each other. Intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds help to stabilize the structure.
