Bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)(sulfato-κ2O,O′)zinc(II) propane-1,3-diol solvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(SO4)(C12H8N2)2]·C3H8O2, the Zn2+ ion (site symmetry 2) is coordinated by two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and an O,O′-bidentate sulfate ion (S site symmetry 2), resulting in a distorted cis-ZnO2N4 octahedral geometry for the metal ion. The complete propane-1,3-diol molecule is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry and two O—H...O hydrogen bonds are formed with the uncoordinated O atoms of the sulfate group.
