In the title compound, 2[Co(C2N3)(NO3)(C14H12N2)(H2O)]·C14H12N2·2H2O, the CoII ion is coordinated by a bidentate 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen) ligand, a bidentate nitrate anion, a water molecule and a monodentate dicyanamide group in a distorted octahedral geometry. One uncoordinated dmphen molecule is situated on a crystallographic twofold axis and the asymmetric unit is completed by one water molecule. In the crystal, molecules form a one-dimensional framework in the [001] direction through O—H...N and O—H...O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is further stabilized by π–π stacking interactions between the dmphen rings of neighboring molecules, with a centroid–centroid separation of 3.5641 (8) Å and a partially overlapped arrangement of parallel dmphen rings with a distance of 3.407 (2) Å.
