The ZnII ion in the title compound, [Zn(C9H6NO4)2(H2O)4], is located on an inversion center and is octahedrally coordinated by two 2-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzoxazol-3-yl)acetate anions in axial sites and four water molecules in equatorial positions. In the crystal, O—H...O hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water molecules and carbonyl–carboxylate O atoms lead to pleated sheets parallel to (001)
The title mixed-ligand oxidovanadium(IV) compound, [VO(C5H7O2)2(C8H9N3)], contains a VIV atom in a distorted octahedral coordination, which is typical for such complexes. The vanadyl group and the N-heterocyclic ligand are cis to each other. The coordination bond is located at the endocyclic N atom of the benzimidazole ligand. Intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the exo-NH2 group H atoms and acetylacetonate O atoms stabilize the crystal structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
