Aquabis(5-butylpyridine-2-carboxylato)zinc monohydrate

Abstract

In the title complex, [Zn(C10H12NO2)2(H2O)]·H2O, the ZnII ion is coordinated by two N and two O atoms from two 5-n-butylpyridine-2-carboxylato ligands and one O atom from a water molecule in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds link molecules into a two-dimensional supramolecular structure parallel to (001).
