trans-diaqua{5,5 '-[(E,E)-pyridine-2,6-diylbis(methylidynenitrilo)]bis[pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione]}zinc(II) nitrate hexafluorophosphate trihydrate

Abstract

The title compound, [Zn(C15H11N7O4)(H2O)(2)](NO3)(PF6)center dot 3H(2)O, contains a mononuclear zinc(II) complex. The Zn2+ centre is seven-coordinated in a slightly distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry, with the two water O atoms located in the apical positions, and the pyridine N atom, the two imine N atoms and two carbonyl O atoms of the uracil groups located in the equatorial plane. The charge is balanced by PF6- and NO3- anions.
