The mononuclear zinc title complex, [Zn(C20H22N2O4)(H2O)], was obtained by the reaction of 3-eth­oxy­salicyl­aldehyde, ethane-1,2-diamine, and zinc acetate in methanol. The Zn atom is five-coordinated by two phenolate O and two imine N atoms of the tetradentate Schiff base ligand and by one water O atom, forming a square-pyramidal geometry. In the crystal, pairs of mol­ecules are linked via inter­molecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers.

Comment top

As part of our investigations into Schiff base complexes (Wang & Ye, 2011; Wang, 2009), we have synthesized the title compound, a new mononuclear zinc(II) complex, Fig. 1. The Zn atom in the complex is five-coordinated by two phenolate O and two imine N atoms of the Schiff base ligand, and by one water O atom, forming a square pyramidal geometry. The Zn atom deviates from the least squares plane defined by the four basal donor atoms by 0.449 (2) Å. The Zn–O and Zn–N bond lengths (Table 1) are typical and are comparable with those observed in other similar zinc(II) complexes (Meyer & Roesky, 2007; Chu et al., 2008; Szlyk et al., 2005; Reglinski et al., 2002).

In the crystal structure, adjacent two molecules are linked via intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds, to form a dimer (Table 1, Fig. 2).

Experimental top

3-Ethoxysalicylaldehyde (1.0 mmol, 0.166 g) and ethane-1,2-diamine (0.5 mmol, 0.030 g) were dissolved in MeOH (30 ml), to the mixture was added with stirring an aqueous solution (5 ml) of zinc acetate dihydrate (0.5 mmol, 0.110 g). The final mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min to give a clear colorless solution. After keeping the solution in air for a week, colorless block-shaped crystals were formed at the bottom of the vessel.

Refinement top

The water H atoms were located from a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically, with O—H and H···H distances restrained to 0.85 (1) and 1.37 (2) Å. The remaining H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) set at 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

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.
