Poly[[[(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)cobalt(II)]-μ3-5-hydroxyisophthalato-κ4O,O′:O′′:O′′′] monohydrate]
Abstract
The title compound, {[Co(C8H4O5)(C12H8N2)]·H2O}n, is isostructural with its manganese analog [Skakle, Foreman & Plater (2001). Acta Cryst. E57, m373–m375]. The asymmetric unit consists of one Co atom, one 1,10-phenanthroline ligand bound in a bidentate manner, one hydroxyisophthalate ligand and one water molecule. The Co coordination is completed by two further O atoms from two symmetry-related hydroxyisophthalate ligands, giving a grossly distorted octahedral geometry.
