Bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ²<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>′)(sulfato-κ²<i>O</i>,<i>O</i>′)zinc(II) propane-1,3-diol solvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(SO(4))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]·C(3)H(8)O(2), the Zn(2+) ion (site symmetry 2) is coordinated by two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and an O,O'-bidentate sulfate ion (S site symmetry 2), resulting in a distorted cis-ZnO(2)N(4) octa-hedral geometry for the metal ion. The complete propane-1,3-diol mol-ecule is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry and two O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are formed with the uncoordinated O atoms of the sulfate group.
