Dichlorido{2-[2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethyl-imino-meth-yl]phenolato}zinc(II) monohydrate.

In the title mononuclear zinc(II) complex, [ZnCl(2)(C(14)H(20)N(2)O)]·H(2)O, the Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated by the phenolate O and imine N atoms of the Schiff base ligand and by two Cl atoms in a tetra-hedral geometry. In the crystal structure, O-H⋯Cl, O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the water mol-ecules bridge adjacent complexes into a ladder-like structure running along the c axis.
