(Heptanedioato-²O,O')bis(1,10-phenanthroline-²N,N')zinc(II) hexahydrate

J.-L. Lin and Y.-Y. Wang

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C₇H₁₀O₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]·6H₂O, the Zn^II atom is coordinated by two carboxylate O atoms of a mono-bidentate chelating pimelate anion (pimelic acid is heptanedioic acid) and four N atoms of two phenanthroline ligands, forming a considerably distorted octahedral ZnN₄O₂ coordination geometry. The complexes are assembled into a three-dimensional network via C-HO, C-H and - interactions. The mean interplanar distance between adjacent phenanthroline ligands is 3.399 (2) Å.
