The 12H10N6)2(H2O)2](NO3)2, contains one-half of the complex molecule and one NO3− anion. The ZnII ion displays a distorted tetragonal-pyramidal geometry with four N atoms from two chelating 4-amino-3,5-di-2-pyridyl-1,2,4-triazole (2-bpt) ligands in the basal plane and one water molecule occupying the apical site. Another water molecule at the opposite of the apical site has a weak interaction with the ZnII ion [Zn—O = 2.852 (5) Å]. The ZnII ion and the two water molecules lie on a twofold rotation axis. An extensive system of hydrogen bonds involving the NH2 groups of the 2-bpt ligands, water molecules and nitrate anions links all residues into a three-dimensional network.

To an ethanol solution (20 ml) of 2-bpt (0.012 g, 0.05 mmol) was added an aqueous solution (5 ml) of Zn(NO3)2.6H2O (0.018 g, 0.05 mmol) with stirring. After vigorous stirring for ca 40 min, the resultant solution was filtered and left to stand at room temperature. Colorless block crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were produced by slow evaporation of the solvent for two weeks.
C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atoms attached to N atom were found in a difference Fourier map. Their coordinates were refined and Uiso factors were fixed. H atoms of water molecules were found in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically.

Recently, 4-amino-3,5-di-2-pyridyl-1,2,4-triazole (2-bpt) has been used as ligand because it has potential ability of multi-coordination modes, generating hydrogen-bonding and/or aromatic stacking interactions. The zinc(II) complex of 2-bpt has been reported previously. Hartmann & Vahrenkamp (1995) prepared the complexes based on 2-bpt with Zn(ClO4)2, ZnCl2, Zn(NO3)2 and Zn(BF4)2. But they just obtained the single-crystal structure of Zn(ClO4)2 complex, in which ZnII atom adopts octahedral geometry. Herein, we reported the crystal structure of the title compound obtained by reacting 2-bpt with Zn(NO3)2, in which 2-bpt acts as a chelating ligand and hydrogen-bonding interactions play an important role in stabilizing the solid-state structure.
The structure analysis reveals that the asymmetric unit of the title compund contains half a ZnII atom, one 2-bpt molecule, two half water molecules and one NO3- anion. As depicted in Fig. 1, the distorted tetragonal pyramidal ZnII atom is located on an inversion center. The basal plane is defined by four N atoms from two 2-bpt ligands with a chelating mode, and the apical site is occupied by one water molecule (O1W) with a Zn—O distance of 2.008 (3)Å (Table 1). Another water molecule (O2W) has a weak interaction with the Zn atom [Zn1—O2W = 2.852 (5) Å], which makes the crystal structure differ from the recently reported nickel complex (Shao & Geng, 2009) because of Jahn-Teller effect. The 2-bpt molecule exhibits trans-conformation. The two 2-bpt molecules are not coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 48.54 (5)°. N—H···O, N—H···N and O—H···O hydrogen bonds are observed in the crystal structure (Table 2; Fig. 2).
