Aquabis(N-benzoylalaninato-κO)(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)zinc(II)
Abstract
In the title compound, [Zn(C10H10NO3)2(C12H8N2)(H2O)], the ZnII atom is five-coordinated by the two N atoms of the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, two O atoms from two benzoylalanine ligands and one O from a water molecule. The complex exhibits a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The crystal structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonds of the types N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O.
