cis-Diaquabis(1,10-phenanthroline-N,N')zinc(II) (1,10-Phenanthroline-N,N')bis(thiosulfato-S)zincate(II) Monohydrate

The structure of the title compound, [Zn(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)₂][Zn(S₂O₃)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)].H₂O, consists of cationic [Zn(phen)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺ and anionic [Zn(phen)(S₂O₃)₂]^2- moieties. They are connected by hydrogen bonding into a three-dimensional network with the participation of a disordered solvant water molecule. The thiosulfate groups, one of which is disordered, are coordinated through sulfur. The phenanthroline groups coordinate as usual through both N atoms. One of them is planar, and the remaining two present a shallow-boat conformation.
