Abstract
The title compound, [Zn(H2O)6]Cl2·2C6H12N4·4H2O, has been prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions. The ZnII atom, located on a centre of symmetry, is coordinated by six water molecules in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The hexamethylenetetramine molecule is not coordinated to ZnII but links the Zn complexes via three O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The remaining N atom of the hexamethylenetetramine molecule is hydrogen-bonded to a solvent water molecule. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H⋯O, O—H⋯N and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional network.
