Cis-Diaquabis(1,10-phenanthroline-N,N')zinc(II) (1,10-Phenanthroline-N,N')bis(thiosulfato-S)zincate(II) Monohydrate

Abstract

The structure of the title compound, [Zn(C12H8N2)2(H2O)2][Zn(S2O3)2(C12H8N2)].H2O, consists of cationic [Zn(phen)2(H2O)2]2+ and anionic [Zn(phen)(S2O3)2]2− moieties. They are connected by hydrogen bonding into a three-dimensional network with the participation of a disordered solvant water molecule. The thiosulfate groups, one of which is disordered, are coordinated through sulfur. The phenanthroline groups coordinate as usual through both N atoms. One of them is planar, and the remaining two present a shallow-boat conformation.
