title: trans-Bis(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')bis-(nitrato-κO,O')zinc(II).
abstract: The title compound, [Zn(NO(3))(2)(C(24)H(16)N(2))(2)], is a twofold axially symmetric coordination compound. Given that the Zn-O interactions [2.4926 (15) and 2.6673 (15) Å] can be considered as weakly bonding and the nitrate ions share the same C(2) axis of the Zn(dpp)(2) fragment (dpp is 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline), these anions belong to the coordination sphere of Zn(2+), leading to a complex with an overall coordination number of 8 for the metal ion.
