Abstract

In the title complex, [Zn(C(7)H(6)NO(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))], the Zn(II) cation is coordinated by two amino-benzoate anions and one 2,2'-bipyridine ligand in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The carboxyl-ate group of one aminobenzoate anion coordinates to the Zn(II) cation in a monodentate manner, whereas the carboxyl-ate group of the other amino-benzoate anion chelates the Zn cation with different Zn-O bond lengths. Inter-molecular N-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
