The crystal structure of [Co(C12H8N2)(C7H12N2O4)]Cl·3H2O is the first reported structure of a cobalt complex with the tetradentate 1,3-propanediamine-N,N'-diacetato ligand and it has adopted a unsymmetrical cis configuration. The phenanthroline fills the two remaining coordination sites to give an approximately octahedral geometry around the Co atom.
