Bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')(sulfato-κO,O')cobalt(II) propane-1,3-diol solvate.

The title compound, [Co(SO(4))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]·C(3)H(8)O(2), was obtained unexpectedly as a by-product during an attempt to synthesize a mixed-ligand complex of Co(II) with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and melamine via a solvothermal reaction. The Co(II) metal ions are in a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment formed by four N atoms from two chelating phen ligands and two O atoms from a bidentate sulfate ligand. The two chelating N(2)C(2) groups are almost perpendicular to each other [dihedral angle = 80.06 (8)°]. A twofold rotation axis passes through the Co and S atoms, and also through the central C atom of the propane-1,3-diol solvent mol-ecule. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds help to stabilize the structure.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
