Dichloridobis(2-phenyl-pyridine-?N)zinc(II).


ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(11)H(9)N)(2)], the Zn(2+) cation lies on a twofold axis and is coordinated by two Cl(-) anions and the N atoms of two 2-phenyl-pyridine ligands, forming a ZnN(2)Cl(2) polyhedron with a slightly distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the metal-bound pyridine ring is 50.3?(4)° for each 2-phenyl-pyridine ligand. This arranges the phenyl ring from one ligand in the complex above the pyridine ring of the other resulting in an intra-molecular ?-? inter-action, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.6796?(17)?Å. Weak C-H?Cl hydrogen bonds stabilize the crystal packing, linking mol-ecules into chains along the c axis.
