title: Diaqua-bis(5-carb-oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl-ato-κN,O)magnesium(II) 3.5-hydrate.
abstract: In the title complex, [Mg(C(8)H(9)N(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·3.5H(2)O, the Mg(II) atom is six-coordinated by two N,O-bidentate 5-carb-oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl-ate ligands and two water mol-ecules, forming a distorted octa-hedral environment. The complex mol-ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. The propyl groups are disordered over two sites, with site occupancies of 0.755 (7):0.245 (7) and 0.556 (13):0.444 (13).
