In the title compound, [Zn(NO(3))(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))(H(2)O)], the Zn(II) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by two N atoms from a chelating 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand, one water O atom, one O atom from a monodentate nitrate anion and two O atoms from a chelating nitrate anion. In the crystal, there are aromatic π-π contacts between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.9577 (13) Å] and inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. ...[more]
