Abstract: | In the title compound, [Zn(CH3COO)2(C4H8N2S)2]·H2O, the Zn atom is tetrahedrally coordinated in the ZnO2S2 form. N—H?O and O—H?O intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed by the four N atoms and the water molecule. N—H?O intermolecular hydrogen bonds and C—H?S and C—H?O intermolecular interactions interconnect columns formed by the molecules into layers. Adjacent layers are then linked by other N—H?O and O—H?O intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form a three‐dimensional framework throughout the structure. The orientations of the acetate planes are such that the Zn atom lies within them. |
