Acetatobis(2,2'-bipyridyl)zinc(II) hexafluorophosphate monohydrate

B. L. Rodrigues

Abstract: The title compound, [Zn(C₂H₃O₂)(bipy)₂]PF₆·H₂O, where bipy is 2,2'-bipyridyl (C₁₀H₈N₂), crystallizes in the triclinic space group P $\overline 1$ with one independent molecule in a general position. The Zn atom is coordinated by one acetate and two bipyridine ligands in an approximate mm2 point-group symmetry. The two Zn-O bond distances are similar to each other, as are the Zn-N bond distances.
