Tetraaquabis(1-hydroxy-2-naphthoato-O)zinc(II)

W.-D. Song, J.-B. Yan, H. Wang and L.-L. Ji

Abstract: In the title mononuclear complex, [Zn(C₁₁H₇O₃)₂(H₂O)₄], the Zn^II atom is located on a centre of inversion and is coordinated by two O atoms from two 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate ligands and four water molecules in an octahedral geometry. The structure is consolidated by intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonding, as well as by a [pi] - [pi] stacking interaction [centroid-centroid distance 3.762 (2)Å] between adjacent naphthyl ring systems.
