(Received 23 November 2007; accepted 23 November 2007; online 6 December 2007)

The Zn atom in the title mononuclear complex, [Zn(C8H7O2)2(H2O)2], lies on a special position of site symmetry 2. The carboxyl­ate group binds in a monodentate manner so that the geometry is best described as tetra­hedral. Adjacent mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

In the structural investigation of 4-methylbenzate complexes, it has been found that the 4-methylbenzoic acid functions as a multidentate ligand [(Song et al. (2007)], with versatile binding and coordination modes. In this paper, we report the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), a new Zn complex obtained by the reaction of 4-methylbenzoic acid with zinc chloride in alkaline aqueous solution.

As illustrated in Figure 1, the ZnII atom, possesses crystallogarphically imposed C2 symmetry, which is coordinated by two O atoms from two 4-methylbenzate ligands and two water molecules, and displays a tetrahedral geometry. Intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonding interactions (Table 1) between the coordinated water molecules and the carboxyl O atoms of 4-methylbenzate ligands stabilize the structural packing (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

A mixture of zinc nitrate(1 mmol), 4-methylbenzoic acid (1 mmol) NaOH (1.5 mmol) and H2O (12 ml) was placed in a 23 ml Teflon reactor, which was heated to 433 K for three days and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 10 K h-1. The crystals obtained were washed with water and dryed in air.

Refinement top

Carbon-bound H atoms were placed at calculated positions and were treated as riding on the parent C atoms with C—H = 0.93 - 0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). Water H atoms were tentatively located in difference Fourier maps and were refined with distance restraints of O–H = 0.82 Å and H···H = 1.29 Å, each within a standard deviation of 0.01 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
