Abstract:
In the title compound, [Zn(C(7)H(7)N(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2C(3)H(7)NO, the Zn(II) ion, which lies on a center of inversion, is coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms from two 4-carboxy-2-ethyl-1H-imid-azole-5-carboxyl-ato anions and two water O atoms in an octa-hedral environment, Each 4-carboxy-2-ethyl-1H-imid-azole-5-carboxyl-ato ligand adopts a bidentate chelating mode to the Zn(II) ion, forming two five-membered metalla rings. In the crystal, a two-dimensional framework parallel to (010) is formed by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution because water molecules surround and solvate the ions, reducing the strong electrostatic forces between them. This process...
