Crystallographic report: Polymeric [diaqua bis(3‐pyridylacrylato)zinc(II)]

The Zn center in [bis(3-pyridylacrylato)diaquazinc(II)]n is in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry within a cis-N2O4 donor set. Each tridentate 3-pyridylacrylate ligand links two Zn centers, resulting in the formation of a linear chain. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
