Abstract
The cation of the complex title salt, [Zn(C13H11N3)2(H2O)](NO3)2, lies about a twofold rotation axis, which passes through the ZnII atom and the O atom of the aqua ligand. The ZnII atom adopts a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry defined by two N atoms in axial positions [angle = 166.24 (7)°], and two N and one O atom in the equatorial plane [range of angles: 115.17 (7)–122.42 (3)°]. The dihedral angle between the imidazole and aniline rings is 23.86 (5)°. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional network.
