title: Aqua(phthalocyaninato)magnesium.
abstract: The title compound, [Mg(C(32)H(16)N(8))(H(2)O)], crystallizes with two MgPc(H(2)O) molecules (Pc is phthalocyaninate) in the asymmetric unit. The geometries of the two molecules are very similar, with the Mg atoms each 4+1-coordinated by four isoindole N atoms at the base and by the O atom of the water molecule. The Mg atoms are displaced by 0.447 (1) and 0.468 (1) A from the basal coordination planes towards the water O atoms. O-H.N hydrogen bonds form dimers stacked along the b axis in a herring-bone fashion.
