catena-Poly[[[bis(4-pyridinealdoxime-κN1)zinc]-μ-benzene-1,4-dicarboxylato-κ2O1:O4] 4-pyridinealdoxime monosolvate]

Abstract

In the title compound, {[Zn(C8H4O4)(C6H6N2O)2]·C6H6N2O}n, the ZnII ion exhibits a tetrahedral coordination environment defined by two benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate dianions and two 4-pyridinealdoxime ligands. The dianions bridge the ZnII ions, giving a zigzag chain along the b axis. Adjacent chains are connected by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a cavity in which an uncoordinating 4-pyridinealdoxime molecule is located; this molecule is linked by O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds to the zigzag chain.
