%X The title compound, [Mg(C10H8N2)(H2O)4](C7H4FO2)2, consists of a bivalent [Mg(C10H8N2)(H2O)4]2+ cation and two 4-fluorbenzoate anions. In the complex cation, the MgII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from a 2,2¡ä-bipyridine ligand and four water O atoms in a distorted MgN2O4 octahedral geometry. The MgII atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and thus a cation exhibits C2 molecular symmetry. The 2,2¡ä-bipyridine ligands exhibit nearly perfect planarity (r.m.s. deviations = 0.0061  ). In the crystal, O¡ªH...O and C¡ªH...O hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
