Diaqua-bis-[4-(dimethyl-amino)-benzoato-κO]bis-(nicotinamide-κN)zinc(II) dihydrate
Abstract:
In the centrosymmetric title structure, [Zn(C(9)H(10)NO(2))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O, the Zn(II) cation, located on an inversion center, is coordinated by two 4-(methyl-amino)-benzoate anions, two nicotinamide ligands and two water mol-ecules in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The dihedral angle between the carboxyl-ate group and the attached benzene ring is 3.09 (9)°, while the pyridine and benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 77.10 (4)°. The uncoordinated water mol-ecule is linked to nicotinamide ligands by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network. A weak N-H⋯π inter-action also occurs.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
