A. Zeller, E. Herdtweck and T. Strassner

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [ZnCl2{(C6H5)3PO}2]·2THF (THF is tetrahydrofuran, C4H8O), the ZnII ion is four-coordinated by two Cl atoms and two O atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Additionally, two solvent THF molecules occupy the open space in the unit cell, not bonding to the Zn atom. The Zn-Cl distances are 2.2108  (6) and 2.2165  (6)  Å, and the Zn-O distances are 1.9851  (15) and 1.9751  (15)  Å. Within the tetrahedral coordination sphere around the central Zn atom, the bond angles are O1-Zn-O2 98.16  (6)° and Cl1-Zn-Cl2 120.55  (2)°; the four Cl-Zn-O bond angles range from 107.43  (4) to 110.55  (4)°.
