In the title compound, [Co(SO4)(C12H8N2)2]·C4H10O2, the Co2+ ion has a distorted octahedral coordination environment composed of four N atoms from two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two O atoms from an O,O′-bidentate sulfate anion. The dihedral angle between the two chelating N2C2 groups is 83.48 (1)°. The Co2+ ion, the S atom and the mid-point of the central C—C bond of the butane-2,3-diol solvent molecule are situated on twofold rotation axes. The molecules of the complex and the solvent molecules are held together by pairs of symmetry-related O—H...O hydrogen bonds with the uncoordinated O atoms of the sulfate ions as acceptors. The solvent molecule is disordered over two sets of sites with site occupancies of 0.40 and 0.60.
