trans-Bis(isoquinoline-3-carboxylato-²N,O)bis(methanol-O)zinc(II)

N. Okabe, Y. Muranishi and O. Mamiko

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Zn(C₁₀H₆NO₂)₂(CH₃OH)₂], the Zn atom at a center of inversion has distorted octahedral coordination geometry and is bonded to two quinoline N atoms, two carboxylate O atoms and two methanol O atoms. Two isoquinoline-3-carboxylate ligands lie in trans positions, forming the equatorial plane, and the two methanol ligands occupy the axial positions. The complex molecules are linked together by O-HO hydrogen bonds between the methanol ligands and neighboring carboxylate groups.
