Bis[2-(2-pyridylmethyleneamino)benzenesulfonato-κ3N,N′,O]zinc(II) dihydrate

Abstract

In the title complex, [Zn(C12H9N2O3S)2]·2H2O, the ZnII ion lies on a crystallographic inversion center and is coordinated by four N atoms and two O atoms from two tridentate 2-(2-pyridylmethyleneamino)benzenesulfonate ligands in a slightly distorted octahedral environment. In the crystal structure, the complex forms a two-dimensional network through intermolecular O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
