Bis(2-aminothiazole-4-acetato)aquazinc(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(C5H5N2O2S)2(H2O)], the central Zn atom (2 site symmetry) is five-coordinated by two N and three O atoms [Zn—N = 2.047 (3) Å, Zn—O = 2.099 (2) and 1.974 (4) Å] in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. Besides one O atom from a water molecule, two 2-aminothiazole-4-acetate ligands provide two N and two O atoms as coordinated atoms. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds connect the molecules into an infinite three-dimensional framework.
