Abstract

The title ionic zinc-acetate complex, [Zn(C2H3O2)(C12H12N2)2]2(S3O6).5H2O, contains a ZnN4O2 nucleus provided by the three bidentate ligands acting in a chelating mode. The trithionate unit, in turn, acts as an isolated charge-balancing counter-ion. The structure has a three-dimensional assembly achieved through three different interaction types, viz. Coulomb, hydrogen bonding and pi-pi. The trithionate group and one of the solvent water molecules are disordered around inversion centers.
