Aqua­(hippurato)bis­(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) nitrate monohydrate

In the title compound, [Co(C(9)H(8)NO(3))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)]NO(3)·H(2)O, the Co(II) atom is six-coordinated by a carboxylate O atom of the hippurate (Hc) anion, a water O atom and four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The uncoordinated O atom of the hippuric acid anion is involved in an intra­molecular hydrogen bond to the coordinated water mol­ecule. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the Hc anions, the coordinated water mol­ecule, the nitrate anion and the uncoordinated water mol­ecule.
