Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C₅H₂N₂O₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O, the Zn atom is coordinated by N and O atoms from the orotate (2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4-carboxylate) ligand, two N atoms from 1,10-phenanthroline and two aqua O atoms in a distorted octahedral geometry. The presence of intermolecular N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds and --stacking interactions between the phenanthroline ligands results in a three-dimensional structure.
