Abstract: The cation of the title complex, [Zn(C₁₂H₈N₂)₃](NO₃)₂·2C₅H₈O₄·2H₂O, contains a six-coordinate Zn atom with a distorted octahedral geometry, with three 1,10-phenanthroline molecules as bidentate ligands, and lies on a twofold rotation axis. The asymmetric unit also contains an uncoordinated nitrate anion, a glutaric acid molecule and a water molecule. The anions and neutral molecules of the crystal structure are connected together by O-HO hydrogen bonds, forming infinite chains, and the complex cations are located between the chains.
