Abstract: In the title complex, [Zn(C₁₆H₁₃Br₂NO₃)(C₁₂H₈N₂)]·2H₂O or [Zn(L)(phen)]·2H₂O, [LH₂ = 2-(3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxy-benzylamino)-3-phenylpropionic acid and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline], the Zn^II atom is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry by two O atoms and one N atom from an L^2- ligand and two N atoms from a phen ligand. One of the carboxylate O atoms is in the apical position. In the crystal structure, complex molecules are linked into a chain along the c axis through N-HO hydrogen bonds; the water molecules are connected to the chains via O-HO hydrogen bonds.
