In the title complex, [Co(C12H8N2)3](C2Cl3O2)2, the CoII ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by six N atoms from three bis-chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands in a distorted octahedral environment. The is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The title compound was obtained by adding 1,10-phenanthroline (3 mmol) dropwise to a solution of cobalt(II) trichloroacetic acid (1 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml). The solution was stirred for 1 h at room temperature. After a few days block-shaped crystals were formed from the yellow solution.
H atoms were fixed geometrically and allowed to ride on their attached atoms, with C—H = 0.93Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Metal-organic framework coordination polymers have attracted tremendous attention because of their molecular topologies and their potentially useful ionexchange, adsorption, catalytic and magnetic properties (Chen et al., 2001; Fang et al.,2005). As part of our search for new complexes of this type, we synthesized the title compound and report its crystal structure herein.
The molecular structure of the title complex is shown in Fig. 1. The CoII ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by six N atoms of three bis-chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands in a distorted octahedral environment. The Co—N bond lengths are in agreement with those reported for a related complex (Harding et al., 2008). The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds.
