Y.-M. Shen and W. Wang

Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, [Zn(C₂₀H₂₂N₂O₄)]·H₂O, deviates from planarity with a dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 18.3 (1)°. The four-coordinate Zn^II ion has a distorted square-planar coordination and is N₂O₂-chelated by the Schiff base ligand. The Zn^II ion and solvent water molecule are located on a twofold rotation axis. The structure displays intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonding.
