The title complex, {[Zn(C9H5N2O2)2(C12H10N2)]·0.5H2O}n, has six-coordinate ZnII ions with two trans-bidentate quinoxaline-2-carboxylato ligands and a bridging 1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethylene ligand, resulting in polymeric chains along the [101] direction. The offset packing of these one-dimensional chains gives rise to inter-chain H⋯O and H⋯ring interactions.
Keywords: crystal structure; zinc(II); polymeric chains; quinoxaline.

Structure description
The single repeating unit of the polymeric title complex has a six-coordinated zinc(II) ion lying on an inversion centre, with two trans-bidentate quinoxaline-2-carboxylate ligands and a 1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethylene ligand bridging each zinc centre (Fig. 1
). The resulting polymeric chains propagate along the [10] direction, with each one-dimensional chain offset from another by a half of the 1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethylene (Fig. 2
). The Zn⋯Zn distances within each polymer is 13.7278 (5) Å and between offset polymers is 9.1330 (3) Å, which corresponds to the c dimension of the This staggered packing gives rise to inter-chain close proximity of H15(x, y, z − 1) and O2, 2.406 (3) Å. Additionally, the H5(1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z) on the quinoxaline is positioned near the π system of the pyridyl ring with the H5⋯centroid[(N3/C10⋯C14)(x, − y, −
+ z)] distance of 2.795 Å (Fig. 2
), which is similar to the range of H⋯centroid distances, 2.73–3.03 Å, observed in the sandwich packing of water between two C6 rings (Dong et al., 2016
). The H atoms of the lattice water molecule are situated so as to hydrogen bond with O2 (Table 1
, Fig. 2
).

This N,O-bidentate quinoxaline-2-carboxylatate ligand, qlc, has also been employed with copper(II) to form molecular [Cu(qlc)2(H2O)2] (Feng et al., 2007
). Another derivative of the qlc ligand is 3-hydroxy-2-quinoxalinecarboxylate, hqxc. As an equatorial bidentate ligand with zinc(II), hqxc has been used to generate molecular complexes with trans pyridine or DMSO ligands (Sakai et al., 2010
), or to form a polymeric complex using bridging trans 4,4-bipyridine (Xiao et al., 2013
), which forms similar offset polymer chains as the title compound.
Synthesis and crystallization
A DMF solution of 7 mg of ZnCl2 and 17 mg of 2-quinoxalinecarboxylic acid was heated at 393 K for 1 d. After cooling, 7 mg of 1,10-methylenebis{4-[(E)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl]pyridinium} bis(hexafluorophosphate) (Blanco et al., 2009
) was added and the solution heated for a few days, then left to air cool in an oven for seven months. Dichroic brown/blue crystals of the title compound were harvested from the solution. Thermal decomposition of the pyridinium salt to trans-1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethylene likely occurred. Water of crystallization likely originated from prolonged air exposure.
Refinement
Crystal data, data collection, and structure details are summarized in Table 2
. The lattice water molecule was refined with a site occupancy factor fixed to 1/4, in such a way that the monomeric formula for the ZnII complex is hemi-hydrated, since the ZnII ion is placed on an inversion centre.
