An x-ray diffraction investigation of two compounds of zinc with malonamide Zn(NCS)/sub 2/(MAA)/sub 2/ (I) and Zn(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/(MAA)/sub 2/ (II), where MAA = (CONH/sub 2/)/sub 2/CH/sub 2/, has been carried out (autodiffractometer, lambdaMo, graphite monochromator, 1054 reflections for I and 2665 reflections for II, anisotropic least-squares method to R = 0.031 (I) and R = 0.033 (II)). The crystals of compound I are monoclinic: ..cap alpha.. = 8.512, b = 8.301, c = 11.294 A, ..gamma.. = 109.28/sup 0/, space group P2/sub 1//a. The crystals of compound II are trinclinic: a = 7.098, b = 7.258, c = 7.650 A, ..cap alpha.. = 90.65, ..beta.. = 116.28/sup 0/, ..gamma.. = 106.50/sup 0/, space group P anti 1. The crystal structures of compounds I and II are, in principle, of the same type: they are built up from monomeric ZnX/sub 2/(MAA)/sub 2/ molecules with octahedral coordination of the zinc atom, the ..pi..-acid ligands NCS and NO/sub 3/ in trans positions, and bidentate MAA ligands coordinated by means of the oxygen atoms of both carbonyl groups with the formation of six-membered chelate rings. The Zn-O(MAA) distance is equal to 2.091(4) +/- 0.01 A on the average. The lengths of the bonds with the same designations in the MAA ligands in complexes I and II vary in the following ranges: C-O, 1.250-1.256; C-C, 1.513-1.514; C-N, 1.309-1.311 A. However, the conformations of the chelate rings in complexes I and II are not identical, attesting to the configurational instability of the MAA ligand. The ZnX/sub 2/(MAA)/sub 2/ complex molecules in both structures are connected to one another by a system of H bonds.
