cyclo-Tetra-kis{μ-N'-[(8-oxidoquinolin-7-yl)methyl-idene]isonicotino-hydrazidato}tetra-zinc tetra-hydrate.

In the title compound, [Zn(4)(C(16)H(10)N(4)O(2))(4)]·4H(2)O, the N'-[(8-oxidoquinolin-7-yl)methyl-idene]isonicotinohydrazidate (L(2-)) ligand binds to the metal ions, forming stable five- and six-membered chelate rings, leaving the pyridyl groups free. The compound is a tetra-nuclear Zn(II) complex centered about a fourfold roto-inversion axis, with the ligand coordinating in the doubly deprotonated form. The Zn(II) atom has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry being coordinated by one N and two O-atom donors from the doubly deprotonated L(2-) ligand, and by one N atom and one O-atom donor from a symmetry-related L(2-) ligand. In the crystal, four symmetry-related lattice water mol-ecules, centred about a fourfold roto-inversion axis, form a cyclic tetra-mer through O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These tetra-mers connect to the complex mol-ecules through O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a chain propagating along [100]. Neighbouring mol-ecules are linked by π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.660 (2) Å] involving the quinolidine rings.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
