title: Triaqua-(3-carb-oxy-5-sulfonatobenzoato-κO)(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')cobalt(II) monohydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C(8)H(4)O(7)S)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(3)]·H(2)O, the Co(II) cation is coordinated by one sulfoisophthalate dianion, one bidentate phenathroline (phen) mol-ecule and three water mol-ecules in a distorted cis-CoN(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal structure, aromatic π-π stacking occurs [centroid-centroid distances 3.7630 (14) and 3.7269 (15) Å], as well as an extensive O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding network.
