Abstract: In the title compound, {[Co(C₄H₄O₄)(C₁₈H₁₀N₄)(H₂O)]·H₂O}_n, each Co^II atom is six-coordinated by two N atoms from one dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine ligand, and by four O atoms from two succinate anions (one chelating bidentate and one monodentate) and one water molecule in a distorted cis-CoN₂O₄ octahedral coordination. The Co^II atoms are bridged by the succinate ligands to generate a helical chain structure. The chain motif is consolidated into a layer structure by O-HO hydrogen bonds involving the water molecules and carboxylate O atoms.
