Tetraaqua(1,10-phenanthroline-kappa N-2,N ')cobalt(II) dinitrate: a hydrogen-bonded supramolecular network

The structure of the title compound, [Co(C12H8N2)(H2O)(4)]-(NO3)(2), consists of tetraaqua(1,10- phenanthroline)cobalt(II) cations and nitrate anions. The Co atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by the two N atoms of a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and four O atoms of water molecules. The cations and anions are linked by hydrogen-bond interactions into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
