Diaquabis(4-methylbenzoato-κO)zinc(II)

Abstract

The Zn atom in the title mononuclear complex, [Zn(C8H7O2)2(H2O)2], lies on a special position of site symmetry 2. The carboxylate group binds in a monodentate manner so that the geometry is best described as tetrahedral. Adjacent molecules are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
