Bis(4,4′-bipyridyl)bis{2-[4,6-bis(carboxymethylsulfanyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-ylsulfanyl]acetato}zinc(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(C9H8N3O6S3)2(C10H8N2)2], the central ZnII ion, situated on a center of inversion, adopts an octahedral geometry coordinated by four O atoms from two carboxylate groups and two carboxylic groups of two symmetry-related TTTA ligands and two N atoms from two bpy molecules {TTTA is 2,2′,2′′-[1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyltris(sulfanediyl)]triacetic acid and bpy is 4,4′-bipyridine}. These mononuclear units are connected through complementary O—H...X hydrogen bonds, as well as through weak C—H...X (X = O and N) interactions, resulting in a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.
