cis-Diaquabis(4-formyl-2-methoxyphenolato)zinc(II)

Z.-D. Lin and J.-Y. Lu

Abstract: The title compound, [Zn(C₈H₇O₃)₂(H₂O)₂], is a mononuclear complex. The Zn^II atom lies on a twofold axis and is coordinated by four O atoms from two 4-formyl-2-methoxyphenolate anionic ligands and two O atoms from two water molecules, to form a very distorted tetragonal-bipyramidal geometry. The formyl O atoms of the ligand, the water O atoms and the phenolate O atoms contribute to the formation of a hydrogen-bonded three-dimensional network.
