Abstract: The title compound, [ZnCl₂(C₂H₅NO₂)₂]·2H₂O, crystallizes with one half-molecule in the asymmetric unit and a twofold rotation axis passing through the Zn atom. The glycine molecules are zwitterionic. The eight water molecules present in the unit cell mediate the formation of a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network in the crystal structure.
