trans-Bis(isoquinoline-3-carboxylato-κ²N,O)bis(methanol-κO)zinc(II)

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Zn(C10H6NO2)2(CH3OH)2], the Zn atom at a center of inversion has distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry and is bonded to two quinoline N atoms, two carboxyl­ate O atoms and two methanol O atoms. Two isoquinoline‐3‐carboxyl­ate ligands lie in trans positions, forming the equatorial plane, and the two methanol ligands occupy the axial positions. The complex mol­ecules are linked together by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the methanol ligands and neighboring carboxyl­ate groups.
