The anions of adjacent layers [e.g. an anion at (x, y, z) and an anion with symmetry code (iii)] are connected by π–π interactions to form stacks running normal to the bc plane. Hydrogen bonds between the apical (O3) and hydrate (O4) water molecules enhance the interaction. Some distances between atoms of adjacent layers are C9⋯C9iii = 3.322 (4) Å, O1⋯C5iii = 3.272 (3) Å, C2⋯C2iii = 3.266 (3) Å and C5⋯O1iii = 3.272 (3) Å. The hydrate molecules form hydrogen bonds with atoms O1 and N4 of the anions. The parameters of the hydrogen bonds are listed in Table 2. The distance between Zn atoms in the direction normal to the bc plane (e.g. Zn⋯Zniii) is the shortest [7.445 (1) Å]. [Symmetry codes: (i) 1 − x, y, − z; (ii) − x, − y, −z; (iii) −x, y, − z; (iv) + x, − y, + z; (v) − x, + y, − z.] |
