Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C₁₀H₄Cl₂NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]·H₂O, the Zn atom has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry comprising two O atoms and one N atom from two distinct 3,7-dichloroquinoline-8-carboxylate ligands, and two water molecules. The free water molecules are involved in intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonding with the coordinated water molecules and carboxylate O atoms, to give a one-dimensional helical chain along the [100] direction.
