Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Nicotinate Zinc Complex

The nicotinate zinc complex is synthesized and characterized by X-Ray single crystal diffraction. It crystallizes in Orthorhombic,space group Pbca with a = 1. 4229( 3) nm,b = 0. 69191( 12) nm,c = 0. 85012( 15) nm,alpha = 90 deg,beta = 118. 2020( 10) deg,gamma = 90 deg,Z = 2,V = 737. 6( 2) 3,Mr =381. 64,Dc = 1. 718 mg /m3,μ =1.710 mm- 1,F( 000) =392. The Final R1 =0.0189,wR2 =0.0532. Crystal structure shows that the coordination environment around the Zinc can be described as a slightly distorted octahedron. The title compound forms a complex three-dimensional network structure through hydrogen bonding.
