In the title compound, [Zn(H2O)6](C13H10NO4S)2, a distorted ZnO6 octahedron results from the coordination by the six water molecules. Only three of the water molecules are crystallographically unique, as the Zn atom lies on an inversion center. The Zn—O bond lengths are in the range 2.054 (4)–2.073 (4) Å. A network of hydrogen bonds helps to establish the crystal packing.

One mmol of zinc acetate was added to a solution of salicylaldehyde-4-aminobenzene sulfonic acid (1 mmol) in 20 ml of 95% CH3CH2OH. The mixture was continuously stirred for 2 h at refluxing temperature, evaporating some methanol, then, upon cooling, the solid product was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo (yield 76%). Clear blocks of (I) were obtained by evaporation from a methanol solution after a week.
The water H atoms were located in a difference map and refined as riding in their as-found relative positions with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O)". Other H atoms were placed geometrically (C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, O—H = 0.82 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) or 1.5Ueq(O).

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. |

As part of our onging studies of metal coordination complexes with Shiff base ligands (Tai et al., 2005), the synthesis and structure of the title compound, (I), is reported. Six water molecules are attached to the zinc atom, resulting in a distorted ZnO6 octahedron (Fig. 1). The C7=N1 bond length [1.280 (9) Å] implies double bond character, while C4—O9 [1.332 (9) Å] is well regarded as a single bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene ring mean planes (C1—C6 and C8—C13) is 32.2 (3)°. A network of hydrogen bonds helps to establish the crystal packing.
