Redetermination of cis-diaquadiglycolatozinc(II)

P. Kennedy, N. Francis, D. Rovnyak and M. E. Kastner

Abstract: The title complex, [Zn(C₂H₃O₃)₂(H₂O)₂], was prepared and the crystal structure determined as part of a ⁶⁷Zn solid state nuclear magnetic resonance study. In the title complex, the Zn atom has a disorted octahedral coordination comprising two bidentate glycolate ligands and two water molecules. The water molecules are cis to each other; one is trans to a carboxylate O atom and the other trans to an alcohol O atom. The crystal structure has an extensive O-HO hydrogen-bond network.
