Abstract
In the title compound, [Zn(C12H9O2)2(C12H12N2)]·0.5H2O, the water molecule lies on a twofold rotation axis. The ZnII atom is coordinated by three O atoms from two 1-naphthylacetate ligands, one monodentate and the other asymmetric bidentate chelate, and two N atoms from a 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand, giving an irregular environment. In the crystal, the complex molecules are interlinked through the water molecule by O—H⋯Ocarboxylate hydrogen bonds, together with weak C—H⋯O and bipyridine ring π–π stacking interactions [ring centroid separation = 3.761 (2) Å], giving a two-dimensional network structure.
