3N,N':N''] dihydrate]The title compound, {[Zn2(C2HN9)2(H2O)6][Zn2(C2HN9)2(H2O)6]·2H2O}n, consists of one dinuclear [Zn(C2HN9)(H2O)3]2 molecule, in which the two C2HN9- monoanions each N,N'-chelate a [Zn(H2O)3] unit while using a third N atom to bind to the other triaquazinc unit. In the second [Zn(C2HN9)(H2O)3] unit, the monoanion similarly N,N'-chelates a triaquazinc unit, but the bridging interaction furnishes a zigzag chain structure. For both Zn centres, a mer-ZnN3O3 octahedral coordination arises. A network of N-H
N, O-H
N and O-H
O hydrogen bonds helps to establish the structure.
Zinc chloride (40.9 mg, 0.3 mmol), sodium azide (39.0 mg, 0.6 mmol), sodium dicyanamide (26.7 mg, 0.3 mmol) and water (10 ml) were heated in a 25-ml Teflon-lined, stainless-steel Parr bom at 433 K for 72 h. The bomb was then was cooled to room temperature at 10 K h−1; the colourless blocks of (I) that formed were separated manually.
All hydrogen atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with distance restraints of O—H = N—H = 0.85 (1) Å; for the water H-atoms, the H···H distances were restrained to 1.39 (1) Å. Their Uiso values were refined.

Bis(5-tetrazolyl)amine is a high-nitrogen fuel; see Jones et al. (2006). Its synthesis in four steps, starting from cyanic chloride, is reported by Nedel'ko et al. (2005). The synthesis from sodium azide and sodium dicyanamide in water is reported by Marecek et al. (2004). For the crystal structures of the copper complexes, see Klapötke et al. (2006); Manfred et al. (2005). The structures of several metal derivatives have been deposited with the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.28, November 2006; Allen, 2002) as private communications. The title zinc derivative, (I), (Fig. 1) is readily synthesized from sodium azide, sodium dicyanamide and zinc chloride in a hydothermal reaction.
The complex structure of (I) consists of one dinuclear [Zn(C2HN9)2(H2O)3]2 moiety in which the two C2HN9− monoanions each N,N'-chelate to a Zn(H2O)3 triaquazinc unit while using its third nitrogen atom to bind to the other triaquazinc unit. In the second Zn(C2HN9)2(H2O)3 unit, the monoanion similarly N,N'-chelates to a triaquazinc unit, but the bridging interaction furnishes a zigzag chain structure (Fig. 1) For both zinc centres, a mer-ZnN3O3 octahedral coordination arises (Table 1). Two uncoordinated water molecules complete the structure. A complex network of N—H···N, O—H···N and O—H···O hydrogen bonds helps to establish the structure (Table 2).
