Abstract:The title coordination polymer, [Zn(C6H4NO3)2]n, was prepared under hydrothermal conditions by the reaction of zinc nitrate with 5-hydroxynicotinic acid in the presence of malonic acid. In the structure, the ZnII ion is coordinated by two carboxylate O atoms and two pyridine N atoms of four 5-hydroxynicotinate ligands in a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment. The μ2-bridging mode of each anion leads to the formation of a three-dimensional framework structure. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds b… Show more
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.
