Abstract: In the title compound, {[Mg(C₈H₆FO₃)₂(H₂O)₂]·0.4H₂O}_n, slightly distorted octahedral MgO₆ complex units have crystallographic inversion symmetry, the coordination polyhedron comprising two trans-related water molecules and four carboxyl O-atom donors, two of which are bridging. Within the two-dimensional complex polymer which is parallel to (100), coordinating water molecules form intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds with carboxylate and phenoxy O-atom acceptors, as well as with the partial-occupancy solvent water molecules.
