Aqua{4,4′,6,6′-tetrachloro-2,2′-[(2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato}zinc

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn(C(19)H(16)Cl(4)N(2)O(2))(H(2)O)], comprises two crystallographically independent mol­ecules. The geometry around the Zn(II) atoms is distorted trigonal–bipyramidal, supported by the N(2)O(2) donor atoms of the tetradentate Schiff base and a coordinating water mol­ecule. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings in the two mol­ecules are 34.10 (15) Å and 30.61 (15) Å. In the crystal, neighbouring independent mol­ecules are linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers with R (2) (2)(6) ring motifs, and by O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. There are short Cl⋯Cl [3.4728 (16), 3.4863 (16), and 3.388 (1) Å] contacts present, and mol­ecules are also linked by C—H⋯O and π–π [centroid–centroid distance = 3.671 (2) Å] inter­actions.
