Aqua(4-hydroxy-benzoato-κO)(4-hydroxy-benzoato-κO,O')(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')zinc(II) monohydrate.

ABSTRACT: The Zn atom in the title compound, [Zn(C(7)H(5)O(3))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)]·H(2)O, exists in a distorted cis-ZnN(2)O(4) octa-hedral coordination geometry. One of the 4-hydroxy-benzoate anions chelates in a bidentate manner whereas the other is monodentate. The complex mol-ecules are linked through the uncoordinated water mol-ecules into a hydrogen-bonded sheet structure.
