title: Dibromido{2-[2-(piperidinium-1-yl)ethyl-imino-meth-yl]phenolato}zinc(II) monohydrate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [ZnBr(2)(C(14)H(20)N(2)O)]·H(2)O, consists of a mononuclear Schiff base zinc(II) complex mol-ecule and a solvent water mol-ecule. The Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated in an approximately tetra-hedral geometry, binding to the imine N and phenolate O atoms of the neutral zwitterionic Schiff base ligand and to two terminal Br(-) anions. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular O-H⋯Br and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the b axis.
