Bis(9-amino­acridinium) bis­(pyridine-26-dicarboxyl­ato)zincate(II) trihydrate

摘要

In the title compound, (C13H11N2)2[Zn(C7H3NO4)2]·3H2O, the Zn^II ion is six-coordinated with the N4O2 donor set being a distorted octa­hedron through two almost perpendicular (r.m.s. deviation of ligand atoms from the mean plane is 0.057 Å) tridentate pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl­ate ligands [dihedral angle between the ligands = 86.06 (4)°]. The charge is compensated by two 9-amino­acridinium cations protonated on the ring N atom. A variety of inter­molecular contacts, such as ion–ion, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and π–π stacking [centroid–centroid distances = 3.4907 (9)–4.1128 (8) Å], between cations and between anions, play important roles in the formation of the three-dimensional network.
