Abstract: The title compound, [Zn(C₇H₂NO₅)(H₂O)₃]·0.25CH₃CN·H₂O, was synthesized by the reaction of Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O and chelidamic acid. The coordination geometry of the Zn atom is a distorted octahedron, with one N and two O atoms from the chelidamate ligand and three water O atoms. A three-dimensional network is formed by the O-HO hydrogen bonds between the O atoms of the chelidamate ligand and the aqua ligands and water molecule of crystallization.
