Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn₂(C₈H₄O₄)Cl₂(C₁₉H₁₂N₄)₂(H₂O)₂] or [Zn₂(BDC)Cl₂(L)₂(H₂O)₂] (where BDC is benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate and L is 2-phenyl-1H-1,3,7,8,-tetraaza-cyclopenta[l]phenanthrene), the two Zn^II atoms are bridged by the BDC ligand to form a dinuclear compound in which each Zn^II atom is five-coordinated by two N atoms from one L ligand, one chloride ion, and two O atoms, one from the BDC and one from the water molecule. The molecule is centrosymmetric. Neighbouring dinuclear complexes interact through - contacts to form stacks, leading to a two-dimensional supramolecular structure.
