Aqua(2,2′-bipyridine-κ2N,N′)[2-(3-thienyl)malonato-κ2O,O′]zinc(II) dihydrate

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C7H4O4S)(C10H8N2)(H2O)]·2H2O, the ZnII ion assumes a trigonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry completed by two N atoms from a 2,2′-bipyridine ligand, two O atoms from a 2-(3-thienyl)malonate anion and a water molecule. The S atom of the 2-(3-thienyl)malonate ligand is disordered over two sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.701 (5):0.299 (5). Intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
