(μ-Perfluoro­sebacato-κO:O′)Bis­[Aqua­Bis(1,10-Phenanthroline-κN,N′)Zinc(II)] Perfluoro­Sebacate Bis­[Triaqua­(Perfluoro­Sebacato-κO)(1,10-Phenanthroline-κN,N′)Zinc(II)] 3.32-Hydrate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn<inf>2</inf>{O <inf>2</inf>C(CF<inf>2</inf>)<inf>8</inf>-CO<inf>2</inf>}(C<inf>12</inf>H <inf>8</inf>N<inf>2</inf>)<inf>4</inf>(H<inf>2</inf>O)<inf>2</inf>](C <inf>10</inf>,F<inf>16</inf>O<inf>4</inf>)·[Zn{O<inf>2</inf>C(CF <inf>2</inf>)<inf>8</inf>CO<inf>2</inf>}-(C<inf>12</inf>H<inf>8</inf>N <inf>2</inf>)(H<inf>2</inf>O)<inf>3</inf>]·3.32H<inf>2</inf>O, contains a neutral mononuclear [ZnL(phen)(H<inf>2</inf>O)<inf>3</inf>] complex (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline and L is perfluorosebacate), one half each of a centrosymmetric [Zn<inf>2</inf>L(phen)<inf>4</inf>(H<inf>2</inf>O) <inf>2</inf>]2+ binuclear complex and an uncoordinated centrosymmetric L ligand, and 1.66 water molecules of solvation. The Zn II atoms in both the mononuclear and the binuclear complexes are six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry. © 2006 International Union of Crystallography. All rights reserved.
