Aqua-bis-(4-chloro-2-hy-droxy-benzoato-κO)(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')zinc(II).

ABSTRACT

In the title compound, [Zn(C(7)H(4)ClO(3))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)], the Zn(II) cation is coordinated by two 4-chloro-2-salicylate anions, one 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and one water mol-ecule in a square-pyramidal coordination geometry; the Zn cation lies 0.4591 (11) Šfrom the basal plane. The benzene rings of the anions are involved in π-π stacking. The centroid-centroid distance between parallel benzene rings of adjacent mol-ecules is 3.9017 (17) Å, and the centroid-centroid distance between benzene and pyridine rings of adjacent mol-ecules is 3.584 (2) Å. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present.
