Poly[[μ-chlorido-μ-[2-(2,4-di-fluoro-phen-yl)-1,3-bis-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-2-ol-κ(2) N (4):N (4')]-zinc] chloride dihydrate].

The title compound, {[ZnCl(C13H12F2N6O)2]Cl·2H2O} n , is a two-dimensional coordination polymer. The Zn(II) atom is six-coordinated by four N atoms from four 2-(2,4-di-fluoro-phen-yl)-1,3-bis-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-2-ol (HFlu) ligands and by two Cl atoms in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Two Cl atoms bridge two Zn(II) atoms, forming a centrosymmetric dinuclear unit. The HFlu ligands connect the dinuclear units into a 4(4) net parallel to (001) when the dinuclear unit is considered as a node. O-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the cationic layer, free chloride anions and lattice water mol-ecules. Intra-layer π-π inter-actions between the triazole rings are observed [centroid-centroid distance = 3.716†(6)†à ].
