Triaqua(2,2'-bipyridine-²N,N')(5-nitroisophthalato-O¹)zinc(II) monohydrate

L. Hao and X. Liu

Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C₈H₃NO₆)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₃]·H₂O, the Zn^II cation is hexacoordinated by a chelating 2,2'-bipyridine ligand, one carboxylate O atom from a 5-nitroisophthalate dianion and three water molecules in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The structure contains isolated neutral complexes, in contrast to coordination polymers formed by Mn^II, Co^II and Cu^II with the same ligand set. An extensive network of hydrogen bonds is formed between the water molecules and the carboxylate groups.
