Poly[[([mu]-1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylato)zinc(II)] monohydrate]

Z. Li, J. Dai and S. Yue

Abstract: The three-dimensional polymeric title compound, {[Zn(C9H4N2O4)]·H2O}n, contains one crystallographically independent ZnII atom, one fully deprotonated 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate (bdc) ligand and one uncoordinated water molecule. The ZnII atom is four-coordinated by three O atoms and one N atom from the bdc ligands, giving a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The uncoordinated water molecule is bound to the main structure through a strong bdc-water N-H...O hydrogen bond, and two much weaker water-bdc O-H...O interactions.
