Di­aqua­bis­(pyridine-2-carboxyl­ato-κ²N,O)zinc di­methyl­formamide hemisolvate

In the title compound, [Zn(C₆H₄NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]·0.5C₃H₇NO, the Zn^II ion is coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral N₂O₄ environment by two N,O-chelating pyridine-2-carboxyl­ate ligands and two cis water mol­ecules. The chelating pyridine-2-carboxyl­ate ligands create two five-membered Zn/N/C/C/O rings, which form a dihedral angle of 86.4 (2)°. In the crystal, O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the complex mol­ecules into a two-dimensional network parallel to (100). The di­methyl­formamide solvent mol­ecule is disordered about a twofold rotation axis.
