Aquabis(benzoato-κO)(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)zinc(II)

The Zn atom in the title compound, [Zn(C7H5O2)2(C12H8N2)(H2O)], is five-coordinate in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination environment involving two O atoms of two monodentate benzoates, two N atoms of a 1,10-phenanthroline molecule and one O atom of a water molecule. The axial positions are occupied by a carboxylate O atom from the benzoate ligand and an N atom from the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand [N—Zn—O = 146.90 (7)°]. The water molecule forms an intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond; an intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond gives rise to a dimer.
