Abstract: The title compound, [Co(NH₃)₆]₃(C₆H₅O₄S)₈Cl·13H₂O, contains one and a half hexamminecobalt(III) cations, four 4-hydroxybenzenesulfonate anions, one half chloride anion and six and a half water molecules in its asymmetric unit. One [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ cation lies on a centre of inversion. The [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ cations and 4-hydroxybenzenesulfonate anions are linked by N-HO hydrogen bonds into `triple-stranded ribbons'. The chloride anion is disordered in sites between these ribbons.
