[1-(4-Hydroxy-2-oxidobenzylidene)-4-phenylthiosemicarbazonato-κ3N,O,S](1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)zinc(II)–4,4′-bipyridine (2/1)

Abstract

The ZnII atom in the title compound, [Zn(C14H11N3O2S)(C12H8N2)]·0.5C10H8N2, is N,N′-chelated by the N-heterocycle and N,O,S-chelated by the deprotonated Schiff base in a square-pyramidal environment. The hydroxy group of the Schiff base is a hydrogen-bond donor to 4,4′-bipyridine, which is located about a center of inversion, resulting in the formation of a supramolecular trimeric unit.
