Abstract: In the title compound, [CoCl(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)₃]Cl·H₂O, the Co^II ion is coordinated by two N atoms from the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand [Co-N = 2.125 (6) and 2.146 (6) Å], one chloride ligand [Co-Cl = 2.459 (2)Å] and three water molecules [Co-O = 2.070 (5)-2.105 (5)Å] in a distorted octahedral geometry. Intermolecular O-HCl and O-HO hydrogen bonds form an extensive three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network, which consolidates the crystal packing.
