Colorless single crystals of the title compound were accidentally obtained by a reaction of p‐sulfophenylalanine with zinc perchlorate. The crystal structure (monoclinic, P2 1 /c, Z = 4, a = 5.9031(7), b = 13.5404(16), c = 9.7932(8) Å, β = 126.438(5)°, V = 629.74(12) Å 3 , R 1 [I>2σ(I)] = 0.0276, wR 2 (all) = 0.0844) reveals a discrete dinuclear [Zn(OH)( μ ‐ClO 4 )(H 2 O) 3 ] 2 in which each perchlorate anion acts as a bidentate bridging linker to bind two Zn atoms whereas the hydroxy group is a terminal group. Thus, the local surrounding around the zinc atom can be best described as a slightly distorted octahedron.
