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 mol-ecules. 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 mol-ecule. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings in the two mol-ecules are 34.10 (15) Å and 30.61 (15) Å. In the crystal, neighbouring independent mol-ecules 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 mol-ecules are also linked by C-H⋯O and π-π [centroid-centroid distance = 3.671 (2) Å] inter-actions.
