title: {6,6'-Dieth-oxy-2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato}zinc(II) monohydrate.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, [Zn(C(20)H(22)N(2)O(4))]·H(2)O, deviates from planarity with a dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 18.3 (1)°. The four-coordinate Zn(II) ion has a distorted square-planar coordination and is N(2)O(2)-chelated by the Schiff base ligand. The Zn(II) ion and solvent water mol-ecule are located on a twofold rotation axis. The structure displays inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding.
