metal-organic compounds
In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Zn(C10H6NO2)2(CH3OH)2], the Zn atom at a center of inversion has distorted octahedral coordination geometry and is bonded to two quinoline N atoms, two carboxylate O atoms and two methanol O atoms. Two isoquinoline-3-carboxylate ligands lie in trans positions, forming the equatorial plane, and the two methanol ligands occupy the axial positions. The complex molecules are linked together by O—HO hydrogen bonds between the methanol ligands and neighboring carboxylate groups.
