cis-Diaquabis(2,2′,2′′-tripyridylamine)zinc(II) bis(perchlorate)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(2,2′,2′′-tpa)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (2,2′,2′′-tpa is 2,2′,2′′-tripyridylamine, C15H12N4), the Zn center lies on a twofold axis and is coordinated octahedrally by two water molecules and two bidentate 2,2′,2′′-tpa ligands. The perchlorate anions are linked to the coordinated water molecules in the complex cations via O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
