Dichlorido(5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine-?N,N')zinc(II).


ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))], contains two independent mol-ecules. The Zn(II) atoms are four-coordinated in distorted tetra-hedral configurations by two N atoms from 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine and two terminal Cl atoms. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H?Cl hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules. There are C-H?? contacts between the methyl groups and the pyridine and five-membered rings containing Zn(II) atoms; ?-? contacts also exist between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.665?(5) and 3.674?(5)?Å].

The Zn(II) atoms are four-coordinated in distorted tetra-hedral configurations by two N atoms from 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine and two terminal Cl atoms. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules. There are C-H⋯π contacts between the methyl groups and the pyridine and five-membered rings containing Zn(II) atoms; π-π contacts also exist between the  ...[more]
