In the title complex, [Co(C(12)H(8)N(2))(3)](C(2)Cl(3)O(2))(2), the Co(II) ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by six N atoms from three bis-chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands in a distorted octa-hedral environment. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
