Bis(2,4,6-trimethyl-pyridinium) tetra-bromidozincate.


ABSTRACT: In the title compound, (C(8)H(12)N)(2)[ZnBr(4)], the coordination geometry of the anion is approximately tetra-hedral. The Zn-Br bond lengths range from 2.3901?(19) to 2.449?(2)?Å and the Br-Zn-Br angles range from 107.09?(8) to 112.48?(8)°. In the crystal, each [ZnBr(4)](2-) anion is connected to four cations through two N-H?Br and two C-H?Br hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional ?(cation)(2)?anion?(cation(2))? sheets parallel to the bc plane. Within each sheet, the anions are arranged in stacks with no significant inter-anion Br?Br inter-actions [the shortest being > 4.3?Å], while the cations are in chains, with weak ?-? stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.991?Å] between cations inter-acting with the same anion.
