The asymmetric unit of the monomeric cobalt complex, [Co(C11H13O2)2(C6H6N2O)2(H2O)2]·2H2O, contains one half of the complex molecule, one coordinating and one non-coordinating water, one 4-tert-butylbenzoate (TBB) ligand and one nicotinamide (NA) ligand; the Co atom lies on an inversion centre. The coordinating water molecules are hydrogen bonded to the carboxyl O atoms [O ⋯ O = 2.6230 (17) Å], enclosing an S(6) hydrogen-bonding motif, while intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link two of the non-coordinating water molecules to the coordinating water molecules and NA anions. In the crystal, O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules, enclosing (8), (10) and (12) ring motifs, forming layers parallel to (001).

We report the syntheses and characterization of three solution-processable phenoxy silicon phthalocyanines (SiPcs). The π–π interactions between the aromatic SiPc cores were studied. In all three cases, the solubility of the molecules was increased by the addition of phenoxy groups while maintaining π–π interactions between the aromatic SiPc groups.
