Dibromido{2-[2-(piperidinium-1-yl)ethyl­imino­meth­yl]phenolato}zinc(II) monohydrate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [ZnBr(2)(C(14)H(20)N(2)O)]·H(2)O, consists of a mononuclear Schiff base zinc(II) complex mol­ecule and a solvent water mol­ecule. The Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated in an approximately tetra­hedral geometry, binding to the imine N and phenolate O atoms of the neutral zwitterionic Schiff base ligand and to two terminal Br(−) anions. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked through inter­molecular O—H⋯Br and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the b axis.
