Diaquabis(5-methylpyridine-2-carboxylato-κ2N,O)zinc(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(C7H6NO2)2(H2O)2], the Zn atom (site symmetry overline{1}) adopts a distorted trans-ZnN2O4 octahedral coordination arising from two N,O-bidentate 5-methylpyridine-2-carboxylate ligands and two water molecules. In the crystal structure, molecules form a layered network linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
