Abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C₁₄H₈O₄)(C₁₈H₁₀N₄)]_n, the Co^II atom is six-coordinated by four O atoms from two different biphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxylate ligands and two N atoms from the bidentate dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine ligand in a distorted octahedral geometry. The Co^II atoms are bridged by the biphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxylate ligands to form a one-dimensional chain structure. - interactions between neighbouring chains result in a two-dimensional supramolecular network (centroid-to-centroid separation = 3.381 Å).
