Tetraaqua(2,2'-bipyridine)zinc(II) 4,4'-(6-diethylamino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyldiimino)dibenzenesulfonate

J. Chen and Y. Ruan

Abstract: Reaction of the newly designed ligand 2,4-bis(4-sulfophenylamino)-6-diethylamino-1,3,5-triazine (H₂DSNT) and 2,2-bipyridine (2,2'-bipy) with ZnCl₂ in water yields the supramolecular title compound, [Zn(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₄](C₁₉H₂₀N₆O₆S₂). In this compound, the coordination geometry of the Zn^II atom is octahedral, involving two N atoms from 2,2'-bipy and four O atoms from coordinated water molecules. DSNT^2- balances the charge of the Zn^II cation and builds up an intricate hydrogen-bond network with coordinated water molecules in the [Zn(2,2'-bipy)(H₂O)₄]²⁺ cation. Both ions lie on mirror planes.
