Crystal structure of tri­aqua­(1,10-phen­anthroline-κ(2) N,N′)(2,4,5-tri­fluoro-3-meth­oxy­benzoato-κO (1))cobalt(II) 2,4,5-tri­fluoro-3-meth­oxy­benzoate

The title salt, [Co(C(8)H(4)F(3)O(3))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(3)](C(8)H(4)F(3)O(3)), was obtained under solvothermal conditions by the reaction of 2,4,5-tri­fluoro-3-meth­oxy­benzoic acid with CoCl(2) in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen). The Co(II) ion is octa­hedrally coordinated by two N atoms [Co—N = 2.165 (2) and 2.129 (2) Å] from the phen ligand, by one carboxyl­ate O atom [Co—O = 2.107 (1) Å] and by three O atoms from water mol­ecules [Co—O = 2.093 (1), 2.102 (1) and 2.114 (1) Å]. The equatorial positions of the slightly distorted octa­hedron are occupied by the N atoms, the carboxyl­ate O and one water O atom. An intra- and inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding network between the water-containing complex cation and the organic anion leads to the formation of ribbons parallel to [010].
