摘要:
The title molecular complex, [Zn(C2H3O2)(2)(CH4-N2O)(2)], crystallized from an aqueous solution of urea and zinc acetate in a 2:1 ratio. Zn-II is coordinated by four O atoms in a systematically distorted tetrahedral arrangement, while the complex as a whole has an approximate twofold rotation axis. Each urea ligates via its carbonyl O atom, while each acetate is monodentate. Each non-ligating carbonyl O atom of the acetate ligands accepts an intramolecular hydrogen bond from urea. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds give rise to a layer structure, with the layers stacked by van der Waals attractions only.
