Diaqua­{2,6-bis­[N-(2-pyridinylmeth­yl)­carbamo­yl]­phenolato-κ2 O 1,O 2}zinc(II).

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(C20H17N4O3)2(H2O)2], the ZnII atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is six-coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral geometry by two phenolate O atoms and two carbonyl O atoms from two 2,6-bis­[(pyridin-2-ylmeth­yl)­carbamo­yl]phenolate ligands and by two water mol­ecules. A three-dimensional network is built up from an extensive array of hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions between the pyridyl rings, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.666 (3) Å.
