title: trans-Bis(2-acet-amido-5-methyl-benzoato-κO)tetra-aqua-zinc.
abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C(10)H(10)NO(3))(2)(H(2)O)(4)], the Zn(II) atom lies on a crystallographic inversion center and is six-coordinated by two monodentate trans-related 2-(N-acetyl-amino)-5-methyl-benzoato ligands and four water mol-ecules, giving a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. There are two intra-molecular hydrogen bonds [amine N-H⋯O(carbox-yl) and water O-H⋯O(carbox-yl)], while extensive inter-molecular water O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions extend the complex units into a two-dimensional network structure along (100).
