Abstract:
In the title complex, {[Zn(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(4)](C(10)H(6)O(6)S(2))}(n), the [Zn(4,4'-bipy)(H(2)O)(4)](2+) (4,4'-bipy is 4,4'-bipyridine) cations are linked into linear chains along [001] by the 4,4'-bipy ligands. The Zn(II) ion exhibits a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry in which the four water mol-ecules are in the equatorial positions. The anions are hydrogen bonded to the polycationic chains by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. The Zn(II) ion, 4,4'-bipy ligand and anion lie on special positions of 2/m site symmetry.
