title: Bis[2-(2-pyridylmethyl-amino)ethane-sulfonato-κN,N',O]zinc(II).
abstract: The title mononuclear complex, [Zn(C(8)H(11)N(2)O(3)S)(2)], is a zinc salt of 2-(2-pyridylmethyl-amino)ethane-sulfonic acid (Hpmt). The Zn(II) ion is located on an inversion centre and is octahedrally surrounded by four N and two O atoms. The deprotonated pmt(-) anion coordinates in a facial arrangement through its two N atoms and one of the sulfonate O atoms. The crystal packing is determined by inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
