Chloridobis((E)-2-{(Z)-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)(oxido)methylene]hydrazono}propanoato)bismuth(III) pentahydrate

J. Zhai, H. Yin, F. Li and D. Wang

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Bi(C₁₀H₉N₂O₄)₂Cl]·5H₂O, contains the Bi^III complex and five solvent water molecules. The Bi atom is chelated by four O atoms and two N atoms of two (E)-2-{(Z)-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)oxidomethylene]hydrazono}propanoate ligands. A chloride anion completes the coordination environment, with the seven-coordinate Bi atom adopting a distorted capped octahedral geometry. The molecules are connected by extensive O-HO hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the solvent water molecules into a two-dimensional supramolecular network. One water molecule is disordered over two sites with almost equal occupancy factors.
