Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn (C₁₂H₈N₂)(C₃H₅O₅P)(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O, the zinc atom is five-coordinate in a trigonal bipyramidal N₂O₃Zn environment; the apical sites are occupied by the aqua ligand and the N atom of the heterocycle. Hydrogen bonds link the zwitterions and lattice water molecules into a three-dimensional network motif.
