-2,2'-dihydroxy-5,5'-diazenediyldibenzoato]In the title compound, [Zn(C14H8N2O6)(H2O)4]n, the 2,2'-dihydroxy-5,5'-diazenediyldibenzoate ligand acts as a carboxylate bridge, leading to the formation of a polymeric chain running along the [1
0] direction. The ZnII atom is hexa-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by six O atoms [Zn-O = 2.055 (4)-2.132 (3) Å] from two carboxylate ligands and four water molecules. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular O-H
O, O-H
N and C-H
O hydrogen bonds, and two
-
interactions. The centroid-centroid distances are 3.803 (16) and 3.804 (17) Å.
The hydroxy and C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93 Å and O—H = 0.82 Å) and included in the refinement in the riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,O). The water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Olsalazine, 2,2'-dihydroxy-5,5'-diazenediyldibenzoic acid, has been widely used to prevent and treat the inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis (Klotz, 2005). In previous work, we have synthesized a serial of Zn (Tang, Tan, Chen & Cao, 2007), Cd and Co (Tang, Yang et al., 2007) complexes with phenanthroline as auxiliary ligand. We have also reported a Mn complex of olsalazine (Tang, Tan & Cao, 2007), but the zinc complex with single olsalazine as building block has not been reported yet. Here we reported the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), a new zinc complex of olsalazine.
In (I), the Zn atom is hexa-coordinated (Fig. 1) by two O atoms from two L ligands [H2L=3,3-azo-bis(6-hydroxybenzoic acid)] and four water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry (Table 1). Two ligands are cis to each other in an octahedral environment. Each ligand L acts as a carboxylate bridge, which leads to formation of a polymeric chain running in the direction [110]. Two neighbouring polymeric chains are paired by π···π interactions between the aromatic rings; the distances Cg1···Cg1i and Cg2···Cg2i are 3.803 (16) and 3.804 (17) Å, respectively [Cg1 and Cg2 are centroids of C2—C7 and C8—C13 rings, respectively; symmetry code: (i) x - 1, y - 1, z]. The crystal packing is further stabilized by the intermolecular O—H···O, O—H···N and C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2).
