Abstract

In the title mononuclear complex, [Zn(C(7)H(4)NO(4))(2)(C(8)H(8)N(2)S)(2)], the Zn(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two 2-amino-6-methyl-1,3-benzothia-zole and by two carboxylate O atoms from two 4-nitro-benzoate ligands, adopting a slightly distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amino group of 2-amino-6-methyl-1,3-benzothia-zole and the carboxyl-ate group of 4-nitro-benzoate link these discrete mononuclear units into a one-dimensional supra-molecular chain extending parallel to [100].
