Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn₂(C₁₄H₈O₅)₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)₂]·2H₂O, the Zn^II atom exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, defined by two N atoms from one 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and four O atoms from two bridging 2,2'-oxydibenzoate ligands. The molecule is a centrosymmetric dimer. - Stacking interactions are observed between the 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligands, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.649 (2) Å.
