Hemiaqua-bis(2-fluoro-benzoato-κO,O')bis-(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')lead(II) dihydrate.

In the title compound, [Pb(C(7)H(4)FO(2))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(0.5)]·2H(2)O, the Pb(II) atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two bidentate chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands, four O atoms from two 2-fluoro-benzoate ligands and a half-occupied water mol-ecule in an irregular coordination geometry. One carboxyl-ate O atom and two F atoms are each disordered over two sites with occupancy factors of 0.558 (6) and 0.442 (6). The two crystallographically independent phen ligands are co-planar [dihedral angle 0.0 (2)°]. Centroid-centroid distances of 3.659 (7) and 3.687 (7) Å indicate π-π stacking inter-actions between neighboring phen ligands. In the crystal, O-H⋯O, C-H⋯F and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complex mol-ecules and uncoordinated water mol-ecules into a supra-molecular network.
