title: Bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-κN,N')(sulfato-κO,O')zinc(II) ethane-1,2-diol solvate.
abstract: The title compound, [Zn(SO(4))(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)]·C(2)H(6)O(2), is a six-coordinate zinc(II) complex with a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The Zn(II) atom is bonded by two O atoms of the bidentate chelating sulfate ligand and four N atoms of the two chelating 2,2'-bipyridine ligands. The Zn-N bond distances range from 2.1287 (17) to 2.1452 (17) Å and the Zn-O bond distance is 2.1811 (15) Å. The two chelating NCCN groups subtend a dihedral angle of 81.1 (1)°. In the crystal structure, the [ZnSO(4)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)] and C(2)H(6)O(2) units are connected by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, which leads to additional stabilization of the structure.
