Abstract: In the title complex, [Co(C₁₆H₁₀O₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)₂]_n, the Co^II ion exists in an octahedral geometry, coordinated by two N atoms of a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, two carboxylate O atoms of two different trans-stilbene-4,4'-dicarboxylate ligands and two water molecules. The trans-stilbene-4,4'-dicarboxylate bridges give rise to a linear chain structure. These chains are further interconnected through intermolecular hydrogen bonds and - stacking interactions between one of the rings of the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and a symmetry-related ring [centroid-to-centroid distance 3.6153 (8) Å], to form a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
