Diaqua­azido­(3,5-diamino­benzoato-κ N)(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N, N′)zinc(II) monohydrate.

The reaction of 3,5-diamino­benzoic acid, 1,10-phenanthroline, NaN3 and ZnII in basic aqueous solution gave rise to the title compound, [Zn(C7H7N2O2)(N3)(C12H8N2)(H2O)2]·H2O. The ZnII atom is six-coordinate with a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The two aqua ligands are in cis positions and the 3,5-diamino­benzoate ligand binds to the central Zn atom through one of its amino groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
