A new hexa-coordinated zinc(II) complex, namely [ZnL(H2O)2]n, with N2O2 coordination sphere (H2L=4,4'-dibromo-6,6'-dichloro-2,2'-[ethylenedioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol) has been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-vis spectra and TG-DTA analyses, etc. Crystallographic data are monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, a=24.634(2)A, b=10.144(1)A, c=7.9351(6)A, β=91.371(2)°, V=1982.4(3)A(3), Dc=2.099 g/cm(3), Z=4. The zinc(II) complex exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral geometry with halogen-substituted Salen-type bisoxime forming the basal N2O2 coordination sphere and two oxygen atoms from two coordinated water molecules in the axial position. The hydrogen-bonding and π-π stacking interactions have stabilized the zinc(II) complex molecules to form a self-assembling infinite dual metal-water chain-like structure with the nearest Zn⋯Zn distance of 4.954(4)A.
