Crystal structure of bis­(1,3-di­amino­propane-κ(2) N,N′)bis­[2-(4-nitro­phen­yl)acetato-κO]zinc(II)

In the structure of the title compound, [Zn(C(8)H(6)NO(4))(2)(C(3)H(10)N(2))(2)], the Zn(II) atom is located on a center of symmetry with one independent Zn—O distance of 2.199 (2) Å, and two Zn—N distances of 2.157 (2) and 2.144 (2) Å. The overall coordination geometry around the Zn(II) atom is octa­hedral. Several types of hydrogen-bonding inter­actions are evident. Both intra­molecular [2.959 (3) Å] and inter­molecular [3.118 (3) and 3.124 (3) Å inter­actions occur between the O atoms of the acetate group and the amino N atoms, and weak inter­molecular C—H—O inter­actions involving the nitro groups, leading to an extended chain of the molecules aligned along the ac plane.
