✦ Synopsis

In the title compound, [Zn~2~(C~8~H~4~O~4~)Cl~2~(C~19~H~12~N~4~)~2~(H~2~O)~2~] or [Zn~2~(BDC)Cl~2~(L)~2~(H~2~O)~2~] (where BDC is benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate and L is 2-phenyl-1__H__-1,3,7,8,-tetraaza-cyclopenta[l]phenanthrene), the two Zn^II^ atoms are bridged by the BDC ligand to form a dinuclear compound in which each Zn^II^ atom is five-coordinated by two N atoms from one L ligand, one chloride ion, and two O atoms, one from the BDC and one from the water molecule. The molecule is centrosymmetric. Neighbouring dinuclear complexes interact through π–π contacts to form stacks, leading to a two-dimensional supramolecular structure.
