The crystal and molecular structure of the polymeric complex of zinc(II) withcytosine 5'-phosphate: metal bonding to both N(3) and phosphate.
Crystal structure analysis of the zinc(II) complex with cytosine 5'-phosphate, (C9H12N3O8P)Zn(H2O), shows that the complex is two-dimensionally polymeric, and the zinc atom is tetrahedrally coordinated to N(3) of the pyrimidine, to two phosphate oxygen atoms and to one water molecule. The zinc atom also forms weak intramolecular interaction with O(2) of the pyrimidine.
