Diaquabis(2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoato-κO1)zinc

The title compound, [Zn(C8H7O4)2(H2O)2], has been synthesized by hydrothermal methods. The ZnII atom, whose symmetry element is a twofold axis, is four coordinated by two O atoms from 5-methoxysalicylate anions and two aqua O atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. In the crystal, molecules are l...

The title compound, [Zn(C8H7O4)2(H2O)2], has been synthesized by hydrothermal methods. The ZnII atom, whose symmetry element is a twofold axis, is four coordinated by two O atoms from 5-methoxysalicylate anions and two aqua O atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. In the crystal, molecules are linked into a layer by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, which stabilize the packing. Ausführliche Beschreibung
