The title compound, [Zn(C12H8N2)3][Cr2O7]·4H2O, was obtained by mixing 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), potassium chromate and zinc sulfate solutions. The asymmetric unit is composed of a [Zn(phen)3]2+ cation, a Cr2O72− anion and four water molecules. The ZnII ion is in a distorted octahedral environment, coordinated by six N atoms from three phen molecules. The cations are connected to anions by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with shortest H⋯O distances of ca 2.27–2.33 A. The Cr2O72− anion is in a staggered conformation. Two of the four crystallographically independent water molecules are ordered, and two others are disordered, each over two sites.
