Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C₇H₄O₄S)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·2H₂O, the Zn^II ion assumes a trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry completed by two N atoms from a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand, two O atoms from a 2-(3-thienyl)malonate anion and a water molecule. The S atom of the 2-(3-thienyl)malonate ligand is disordered over two sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.701 (5):0.299 (5). Intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
