Bis(4-Ethyl­Benzoato-Κo)Bis­(Nicotin­Amide-Κn 1)Zinc(II)

The title ZnII complex, [Zn(C9H9O2)2(C6H6N2O)2], contains two 4-ethyl­benzoate and two nicotinamide monodentate ligands, leading to a distorted tetrahedral coordination of the ZnII ion. The dihedral angles between the carboxyl­ate groups and the adjacent benzene rings are 10.33 (13) and 2.38 (11)°, while opposite pyridine and benzene rings are oriented at dihedral angles of 68.46 (5) and 81.09 (6)°. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules, forming a three-dimensional network. C—H⋯O inter­actions also occur as well as two weak C—H⋯π inter­actions involving the benzene rings.PubMedWoSScopu
