(E)-But-2-enoato-κO]chlorido(2,2′-diamino-4,4′-bi-1,3-thiazole-κ2N3,N3′)zinc(II) monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(C4H5O2)Cl(C6H6N4S2)]·H2O, the ZnII cation is coordinated by a bidentate diamino­bithia­zole (DABT) ligand, a but-2-enoate anion and a Cl− anion in a distorted tetra­hedral geometry. Within the DABT ligand, the two thia­zole rings are twisted to each other at a dihedral angle of 4.38 (10)°. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O inter­action occurs. The centroid–centroid distance of 3.6650 (17) Å and partially overlapped arrangement between nearly parallel thia­zole rings of adjacent complexes indicate the existence of π–π stacking in the crystal structure. Extensive O—H⋯Cl, O—H⋯O, N—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding helps to stabilize the crystal structure.
