In the crystal structure of the title compound, (C12H9N2)2[ZnCl4]·H2O, the two independent 1,10-phenanthrolinium cations are bridged by the water mol­ecule and the tetrahedral tetrachloridozincate anion via N—H...O, O—H...Cl and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [100]. The chains are linked via C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds and a number of π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances vary from 3.5594 (14) to 3.7057 (13) Å], forming a three-dimensional network. In each 1,10-phenanthrolinium cation, there is a short N—H...N inter­action.

In the title compound, (C9H8N)2[ZnCl4]·2H2O, the tetra­chlorido­zincate ion is located on a twofold rotation axis with the Zn atom on a special position. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H...O and O—H...Cl inter­actions.
