Hexakis(acetonitrile)ruthenium(II) tetrachlorozincate 2.55-hydrate

A. Anzellotti and A. Briceño

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ru(CH₃CN)₆][ZnCl₄]·2.55H₂O, consists of [Ru(CH₃CN)₆]²⁺ units (with the Ru atom in a slightly distorted octahedral environment coordinated by six acetonitrile ligands) and [ZnCl₄]^2- moieties (with the Zn atom in a distorted tetrahedral environment). The Ru atom and one of the Zn-Cl bond axes lie on the threefold axis, the N-Ru-N angles are 89.2 (2) and 90.3 (2)°, and the Cl-Zn-Cl angles are 111.42 (6) and 107.44 (6)°.
