metal-organic compounds
In the binuclear title molecule, [Zn2(C9H7NO4)Cl2(C12H8N2)2], the two metal centres are bridged by a 2,6-dimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate ligand. The binuclear unit is extended to form a two-dimensional supramolecular motif via - stacking interactions between neighbouring phenanthroline rings.
