title: Bis(μ-naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxyl-ato)bis-[aqua-(2,2'-bipyridine)zinc(II)] tetra-hydrate.
abstract: The title complex, [Zn(2)(C(12)H(6)O(4))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·4H(2)O, is a binuclear complex with two independent Zn(II) ions in a slightly disorted trigonal bipyramidal environment, coordinated by one aqua ligand, two naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxyl-ate ligands and one 2,2'-bipyridine ligand. π-π Inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance of 3.8489 (5) Å] and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol-ecules, forming a three-dimensional structure.
