catena-Poly[[[bis(3-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylato)zinc(II)]--4,4'-bipyridine-²N:N'] hemihydrate]

L.-Y. Zhang and X.-Z. Sun

Abstract: In the title complex, [Zn(C₁₁H₇O₃)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)]·0.5H₂O, each Zn^II atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy) ligands and two carboxylate O atoms from two 3-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylate (hnc) ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The bpy ligands and Zn^II atoms form one-dimensional zigzag chains running along the c axis. The hnc ligands are located on both side of the chain. The chains are assembled into layers parallel to the bc plane, which are extended into a three-dimensional network by O-HO hydrogen bonds and - stacking interactions.
