Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(H₂O)₆](C₁₃H₁₀NO₄S)₂, a distorted ZnO₆ octahedron results from the coordination by the six water molecules. Only three of the water molecules are crystallographically unique, as the Zn atom lies on an inversion center. The Zn-O bond lengths are in the range 2.054 (4)-2.073 (4) Å. A network of hydrogen bonds helps to establish the crystal packing.
