Bis(2-amino-6-methyl-1,3-benzothiazole-κN3)bis(4-nitrobenzoato-κO1)zinc

Abstract

In the title mononuclear complex, [Zn(C7H4NO4)2(C8H8N2S)2], the ZnII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two 2-amino-6-methyl-1,3-benzothiazole and by two carboxylate O atoms from two 4-nitrobenzoate ligands, adopting a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds between the amino group of 2-amino-6-methyl-1,3-benzothiazole and the carboxylate group of 4-nitrobenzoate link these discrete mononuclear units into a one-dimensional supramolecular chain extending parallel to [100].
