Crystal structure of trans-di-aqua-bis-(4-cyano-benzoato-κO)bis-(N,N-di-ethyl-nicotinamide-κN)zinc(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title complex, [Zn(C₈H₄NO₂)₂(C₁₀H₁₄N₂O)₂(H₂O)₂], the Zn^II cation, located on an inversion centre, is coordinated by two water mol-ecules, two 4-cyano-benzoate (CB) anions and two di-ethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligands in a distorted N₂O₄ octa-hedral geometry. In the mol-ecule, the dihedral angle between the planar carboxyl-ate group and the adjacent benzene ring is 9.50 (14)°, while the benzene and pyridine rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 56.99 (5)°. The water mol-ecules exhibit both an intra-molecular hydrogen bond [to the non-coordinating carboxyl-ate O atom, enclosing an S(6) hydrogen-bonding motif, where O⋯O = 2.6419 (19) Å
