Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn₂(C₉H₄INO₄S)₂(H₂O)₆]·4H₂O, the coordination geometry around the Zn^II atom is a distorted octahedron, formed by three water molecules, the N and deprotonated O atoms of the quinolinol ring and one of the O atoms of the sulfonate group. In the centrosymmetric binuclear complex, there is a --stacking interaction between the quinolinol rings. The water molecules of crystallization play an important role in the hydrogen-bonding patterns of the three-dimensional network.
