mer-Bis(diethylenetriamine)zinc(II) dichloride

R. J. Butcher, N. Muratore and A. P. Purdy

Abstract: At 93 K, in the title compound, [Zn(C₄H₁₃N₃)₂]Cl₂, the Zn^II atom is coordinated by six N atoms from two diethylenetriamine ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. In contrast to the previously determined chloride and bromide monohydrates, this compound is anhydrous. There is extensive hydrogen bonding between the amine H atoms in the cation and the chloride anions.
