Tetraaquabis(1-hydroxy-2-naphthoato-κO)zinc(II)

Abstract

In the title mononuclear complex, [Zn(C11H7O3)2(H2O)4], the ZnII atom is located on a centre of inversion and is coordinated by two O atoms from two 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate ligands and four water molecules in an octahedral geometry. The structure is consolidated by intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonding, as well as by a π–π stacking interaction [centroid–centroid distance 3.762 (2)Å] between adjacent naphthyl ring systems.
