Abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C₁₇H₁₄O₆)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)]_n, the Co^II atom is coordinated by a monodentate 4,4'-(propane-1,3-diyldioxy)dibenzoate (cpp) dianion, a water molecule and a chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand. A symmetry-generated cpp ligand completes the CoN₂O₃ trigonal-bipyramidal geometry for the metal ion, with the N atoms occupying both equatorial and axial sites. The bridging cpp ligands form chains propagating in [110] and O-HO hydrogen bonds consolidate the packing.
