Abstract:
In the crystal of the title compound, {[Zn(C(5)H(5)N(3)O)(2)(H(2)O)](NO(3))(2)}(n), the Zn(II) cation is N,O-chelated by two pyrazine-2-carboxamide (PCA) ligands and is further coordinated by one water mol-ecule and by one pyrazine-N atom from an adjacent PCA ligand in a distorted ZnN(3)O(3) octa-hedral geometry. One of the two independent PCA ligands bridges two Zn(II) cations, forming a zigzag polymeric chain running along the c axis. In the crystal, the NO(3) (-) anions link to the chain via O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions also occur.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
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...
Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
