Pentaaqua(acetonitrile-κN)zinc(II) 4,6-dihydroxybenzene-1,3-disulfonate trihydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(CH3CN)(H2O)5](C6H4O8S2)·3H2O, the ZnII ion lies on a mirror plane and is octahedrally coordinated by one acetonitrile ligand and five water molecules. The 4,6-dihydroxybenzene-1,3-disulfonate anion, acting as a counter-ion, is also located on the mirror plane. The crystal packing is stabilized by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
