Diaqua(5-carboxybenzene-1,3-dicarboxylato-κO1)(4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine-κ2N,N′)zinc

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(C9H4O6)(C12H12N2)(H2O)2], the ZnII atom is five-coordinated by two N atoms from a 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand, one O atom from a 5-carboxybenzene-1,3-dicarboxylate ligand and two water molecules in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry. The complex molecules are linked by intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds and partly overlapping π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 4.017 (2) Å] into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
