Hexaaquazinc(II) 4,4′-(1,2-dihydroxyethane-1,2-diyl)dibenzoate monohydrate

Abstract

The title compound, [Zn(H2O)6](C16H12O6)·H2O, consists of one 4,4′-(1,2-dihydroxyethane-1,2-diyl)dibenzoate anion lying on an inversion centre, one [Zn(H2O)6]2+ dication lying on a mirror plane and one solvent water molecule located on a mirror plane. The octahedral [Zn(H2O)6]2+ cations, solvent water molecules and anions interact via O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
