Abstract: The title dinuclear Co^II complex, [Co₂(C₈H₇O₂)₄(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)], has C₂ symmetry with the coordinated water O atom located on a twofold axis. Two Co^II ions are bridged by two methylbenzoate (MBZ) anions and one water molecule. Each Co^II ion displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. - Stacking occurs between roughly parallel MBZ and phenanthroline (phen) ligands and between parallel phen ligands.
