title: Diaqua-bis-[5-(2-pyridyl-meth-yl)tetra-zol-ato-κN,N]zinc(II).
abstract: In the title mononuclear complex, [Zn(C(7)H(6)N(5))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Zn(II) atom, located on an inversion centre, is in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry formed by four N atoms from two chelating 5-(2-pyridyl-meth-yl)tetra-zolate ligands and two O donors from two water mol-ecules. Inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water mol-ecule and the tetra-zolyl group of the 5-(2-pyridyl-meth-yl)tetra-zolate ligand lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
