The title compound, [Zn(2)(C(6)H(4)N(5))(2)(H(2)O)(6)](CF(3)CO(2))(2)·H(2)O, was synthesized by hydro-thermal reaction of ZnBr(2), CF(3)COOH and 2-(2H-tetra-zol-5-yl)pyridine. The Zn(II) cation is coordinated by one N atom from the 5-(2-pyrid-yl)tetra-zolate anion, two N atoms from another 5-(2-pyrid-yl)tetra-zolate anion and three O atoms from three water mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral ...

The polymeric title compound, [Zn(C(7)H(6)N(5))(2)](n), was synthesized by the hydro-thermal reaction of Zn(NO(3))(2) with 2-amino-benzonitrile in the presence of NaN(3). The zinc(II) metal centre displays a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment provided by N atoms of two bidentate chelating and two monodentate 5-(2-amino-phen-yl)tetra-zolate ligands. These ligands act as bridges, link...
