Aqua(3-fluorobenzoato-O)(3-fluorobenzoato-²O,O')(1,10-phenanthroline-²N,N')cobalt(II)

X.-H. Wang and L.-M. Sun

Abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C₇H₄FO₂)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)], the Co^II ion is coordinated by two O atoms from one 3-fluorobenzoate (fb) ligand and one O atom from another fb ligand, two N atoms from the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and a water molecule in a distorted octahedral geometry. An intramolecular O-HO hydrogen bond occurs. Intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds link pairs of molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. Weak intermolecular C-HO and C-HF hydrogen bonds and - interactions between the aromatic rings [shortest centroid-centroid distance = 3.4962 (2) Å] further stabilize the crystal packing.
