title: Bis(μ-dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]thio-phene-2,6-dicarboxyl-ato-κO:O)bis-[bis-(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')cobalt(II)] dimethyl-formamide disolvate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(2)(C(10)H(2)O(4)S(3))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(4)]·2C(3)H(7)NO, contains one half of the formula unit, with the rest generated by inversion. The cobalt ion sits in a slightly distorted octa-hedral environment and is ligated to four N atoms of two 1,10-phenanthroline molecules and to two O atoms of two dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]thio-phene-2,6-dicarb-oxy-l-ate anions. The anions act as bridges between the Co(II) centers.
