Supporting information
A solution of 1.0 mmol 5-methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid and 1.0 mmol NaOH in 5 ml 95% ethanol was added to a solution of 0.5 mmol Zn(CH3COO)2.4H2O in 5 ml ethanol at room temperature. The mixture was refluxed for 2 h with stirring, then the resulting precipitate was filtered, washed, and dried in vacuo over P4O10 for 48 h. Colourless blocks of (I) were obtained by slowly evaporating from methanol at room temperature.
The H atoms were geometrically placed (C—H = 0.93-0.96Å, O—H = 0.85Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, O) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

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. |

As part of our efforts to achieve supramolecular transition metal complexes by self-assembly (Ranford, et al., 1998; Hagrman, et al., 1998), we now report on the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I), (Fig. 1).
The ZnII centre in (I) is six-coordinate with two O donors of H2O, and two N,O-bidentate ligands (Table 1). In the crystal packing, the molecules form a layers linked by O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2).
