The nitrate ions and non-coordinated iQNO molecules engage in π-stacking and hydrogen-bonding interactions with the coordinated water molecules. The iQNO—Zn—O equatorial bond angles range from 88.98 (9) to 94.90 (9)°, with the largest deviation from a perfect octahedral angle attributed to the influence of a weak C—H⋯O (from water) interaction (2.28","PeriodicalId":7367,"journal":{"name":"Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications","volume":"81 2","pages":"Pages 132-139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11799800/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143381487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
