title: Tetra-aqua-(1,10-phenanthroline)zinc(II) 3,6-dicarboxy-bicyclo-[2.2.2]oct-7-ene-2,5-dicarboxyl-ate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(4)](C(12)H(10)O(8)), each Zn(II) atom is six-coordinated by two N atoms from one phenanthroline mol-ecule and by four O atoms from four water mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral environment. In the crystal structure, ions are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
