title: Diaqua-bis{2-[5-(2-pyrid-yl)-2H-tetra-zol-2-yl]acetato-κN,N}zinc(II).
abstract: The title compound, [Zn(C(8)H(6)N(5)O(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], was synthesized by hydro-thermal reaction of ZnBr(2) with 2-[5-(2-pyrid-yl)-2H-tetra-zol-2-yl]acetic acid. The Zn(II) atom lies on an inversion center in a distorted octa-hedral environment with two planar trans-related N,N'-chelating 2-[5-(2-pyrid-yl)-2H-tetra-zol-2-yl]acetic acid ligands in the equatorial plane and two water mol-ecules in the axial positions. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate an infinite three-dimensional network.
