Dichlorido{2-[2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethyl-imino-meth-yl]phenolato}zinc(II) monohydrate

Dichlorido{2-[(2-isopropylammonioethyl)iminomethyl]-5-methoxyphenolato}zinc(II)

The Zn^II atom in the title compound, [ZnCl₂(C₁₃H₂₀N₂O₂)], is four-coordinated by the imine N and phenolate O atoms of the zwitterionic Schiff base ligand, and by two choride ions in a distorted tetra­hedral coordination. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked through inter­molecular N—H⋯O and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds along [010].

Dibromido{2-[2-(piperidinium-1-yl)ethyliminomethyl]phenolato}zinc(II) monohydrate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [ZnBr₂(C₁₄H₂₀N₂O)]·H₂O, consists of a mononuclear Schiff base zinc(II) complex mol­ecule and a solvent water mol­ecule. The Zn^II atom is four-coordinated in an approximately tetra­hedral geometry, binding to the imine N and phenolate O atoms of the neutral zwitterionic Schiff base ligand and to two terminal Br⁻ anions. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked through inter­molecular O—H⋯Br and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the b axis.
