Crystal and molecular structure of pyridazine-3-carboxylic acid hydrochloride and zinc(II) pyridazine-3-carboxylate tetrahydrate

Abstract

Crystals of pyridazine-3-carboxylic acid hydrochloride contain almost planar molecular sheets in which the cations, composed of acid molecules each with a hydrogen atom attached to one of the ring-nitrogen atoms, interact with chloride anions via a network of weak hydrogen bonds. Van der Waals interactions between sheets are indicated by the intersheet spacing of 3.47 Å. The crystal structure of di(aqua-O)bis(trans-pyridazine-3-carboxylato-N,O)zinc(II) dihydrate is composed of monomeric molecules in which the zinc(II) ion at the center of symmetry is coordinated by two ligand molecules each via its N,O bonding moiety. The ligand molecules and the metal ion form a trans-planar configuration. Two water oxygen atoms, above and below the plane, complete a distorted octahedron. A network of weak hydrogen bonds holds the monomers together.
