The title compound, [Zn(C2H8NO6P2)2(H2O)4]·4H2O, was synthesized by the reaction of ZnCl2 with 1-aminoethane-1,1-diyldiphosphonic acid in aqueous solution. The asymmetric unit contains one-half of the complex and two water molecules of solvation. The Zn atom occupies a special position on an inversion centre. This results in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment, which consists of the O atoms from two phosphonic acids and four water molecules. The crystal structure displays N-H
O and O-H
O hydrogen bonding, which creates a three-dimensional network.
Diphosphonic acids are efficient drugs for the prevention of calcification and the inhibition of bone resorption, see: Matczak-Jon & Videnova-Adrabinska (2005
). Diphosphonic acids and their metal complexes are used in the treatment of Pagets disease, osteoporosis and tumoral osteolysis, see: Szabo et al. (2002
). For related structures, see: Li et al. (2006
, 2007
); Lin et al. (2007
