In the title compound, [Co(C8H5N5O3)(C12H8N2)(H2O)]·3H2O, a tridentate 2-amino-7-methyl-4-oxidopteridine-6-carboxylate ligand, a bidentate ancillary 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand and a water molecule complete a distorted octahedral geometry around the CoII atom. The pterin ligand forms two chelate rings. The phen and pterin ring systems are nearly perpendicular [dihedral angle = 85.15 (8)°]. N—HO, O—HN and O—HO hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules and lattice water molecules into a layer parallel to (001). π–π stacking contacts (involving phen–phen and pteridine–pteridine) are also observed [centroid–centroid distances = 3.670 (2), 3.547 (2), 3.698 (2) and 3.349 (2) Å].

The title compound, C11H8O5, features a `skipped' diene, an anti-bis(epoxide) and a cyclic carbonate, all embedded in a densely functionalized [4.4.3]propellane scaffold. The crystal packing of this diepoxide is effected primarily by C—HO hydrogen bonds, which link the molecules into tapes along the b axis. Inter-tape connectivity is brought about by centrosymmetrically disposed pairs of CO contacts [3.183 (4) Å] between the Cδ+=Oδ- dipoles of neighbouring carbonate moieties.
