Diaquabis(N,N-diethylnicotinamide-kN)bis-(4-fluorobenzoato-kO)zinc(II)

The title Zn^II complex, [Zn(C7H4FO2)2(C10H14N2O)2(H2O)2], is centrosymmetric. It contains two 4-fluoro-benzoate and two diethyl-nicotinamide ligands and two water mol-ecules, all ligands being monodentate. The four O atoms in the equatorial plane around the Zn atom form a slightly distorted square-planar arrangement, while the distorted octa-hedral coordination is completed by the two N atoms in the axial positions. In the crystal structure, O - H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into infinite chains.
