Abstract: The title complex, tetraaquabis[(2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-1-yl)acetato]magnesium(II), [Mg(C₇H₆NO₃)₂(H₂O)₄], is a neutral mononuclear molecule consisting of an Mg^II ion, two (2-oxo-4H-pyridin-1-yl)acetate ligands and four coordinated water molecules. The Mg^II atom, located on a symmetry center, has octahedral coordination involving two carbonyl O atoms of different (2-oxo-4H-pyridin-1-yl)acetate ligands and four water molecules. O-HO intermolecular hydrogen bonds form a layer structure.
