Abstract: The reaction of magnesium(II) nitrate hexahydrate with the proton-transfer compound (pipzH₂)(pydc) [pipz is piperazine and pydcH₂ is pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid] in aqueous solution leads to the formation of the title compound, [Mg(C₇H₃O₄)(H₂O)₃]·2H₂O. The piperazinium cation is not incorporated in this crystal structure. The Mg^II atom has a distorted octahedral coordination environment. There are many intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds involving the (pydc)^2- species and water molecules in the crystal structure.
