The synthesis and characterization of two new tetronic acid zinc (II) complexes of the empirical formulae [Zn(L–H) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ] ( 1 ) and [Zn(L–H) 2 (H 2 O)(MeOH)]H 2 O ( 2 ) found within the same crystal are reported. The zinc ions bind through alkoxide and carbonyl groups of the ligand 3-methoxycarbonyl-5-phenyl tetronic acid (LH) as indicated by 1 H NMR and X-ray crystallographic studies. These complexes promote intra- and intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and π stacking, giving place to the formation of molecular aggregates.
