Abstract
A discrete zinc bis[orotate(1-)] complex of the composition Zn(OrH)2 . 8 H2O has been isolated and characterized by a single-crystal X-ray s tructure analysis. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c (N o. 14), Z = 2, a = 10.884(2), b = 12.896(1), c = 6.954(1) angstrom, be ta = 98.27(1)-degrees. The crystal lattice features hexaquo complexes of zinc. the Zn(H2O)62+ cations being associated with two hydrated OrH ions only through hydrogen bonds. The results are relevant for applic ations of zinc orotates in medical treatment.
