title: Mer-(4-aminobenzenesulfonato-kappa N)triaqua(1,10-phenanthroline-kappa 2N,N')cobalt(II) chloride.
abstract: Both coordination and hydrogen bonds contribute to networking in the supramolecular title compound, [Co(C(6)H(6)NO(3)S)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(3)]Cl, which contains a discrete [Co(C(6)H(6)NO(3)S)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(3)](+) complex cation, formed by one 4-aminobenzenesulfonate ligand, one 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and three coordinated water molecules, together with one uncoordinated chloride anion. These discrete cations and chloride anions are connected by hydrogen-bonding interactions into a two-dimensional supramolecular motif. Further hydrogen-bonding interactions consolidate the structural architecture and extend the two-dimensional supramolecular structure into a three-dimensional network.
