Abstract
The crystals of the pyrazine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid dihydrate [C 4 H 2 N 2 (COOH) 2 ]·2H 2 O or H 2 (2,6-PZDC)] crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group C2/m. Their structure is composed of planar layers in which the acid and the water molecules interact via a network of hydrogen bonds. The layers are also hydrogen bonded. Hexaaquamagnesium(II) pyrazine-2,6-dicarboxylate [Mg(H 2 O) 6 ] 2+ [C 4 H 2 N 2 (COO) 2 ] 2 m crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2 1 / n . The magnesium(II) cation is surrounded by six water molecules located at the apices of an almost regular octahedron with the mean Mg-O bond distance of 2.068 Å. The 2,6-PZDC anions are planar and are acceptors in a network of hydrogen bonds donated by the coordinated water molecules.
