Abstract: The Zn atom in the title mononuclear complex, [Zn(C₂H₃O₃)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)]·2H₂O, exists in an octahedral coordination environment defined by two hydroxy O atoms, two carboxylate O atoms from different glycolate (hydroxyacetate) ligands and two N atoms from one phenanthroline (phen) ligand. The Zn atom occupies a special position with twofold symmetry. A layer structure is formed via O-HO hydrogen bonds involving the water molecules.
