Bis(4-fluoro-benzoato-κO,O')bis-(nicotinamide-κN)zinc(II) monohydrate

The title compound, [Zn(C(7)H(4)FO(2))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O, is a monomeric complex. It contains two 4-fluoro-benzoate and two nicotinamide ligands and one uncoordinated water mol-ecule. The 4-fluoro-benzoates act as bidentate chelating ligands, while the nicotinamides are monodentate. The six-coordinate geometry around the Zn(II) atom may be described as highly distorted octa-hedral, with the two nicotinamide ligands arranged cis. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a supra-molecular structure.
