2O,O')bis[methyl N-(3-pyridyl)carbamato-
N]zinc(II)In the title compound, [Zn(C7H4ClO2)2(C7H8N2O2)2], the ZnII ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two methyl N-(3-pyridyl)carbamate ligands and four O atoms from two bidentate 2-chlorobenzoate anions in a pseudo-octahedral geometry. The Zn-O distances are in the range 2.0484 (16)-2.380 (2) Å, and the Zn-N distance is 2.1012 (18) Å. The molecules are linked into a chain along the c axis by N-H
O and C-H
Cl hydrogen bonds.
A mixture of ZnCO3 (0.4180 g, 3.33 mmol) and 2-chlorobenzoic acid (1.0438 g, 3.33 mmol) in ethanol (50 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 1 h and then filtered. An ethanol solution (50 ml) of methyl-3-pyridylcarbamate (1.0143 g, 3.33 mmol) was added to the filtrate and the mixture was stirred for 3 h. The resulting clear solution was allowed to stand in air at room temperature for two weeks, yielding colourless crystals of (I). The crystals were separated and dried at ambient temperature.
H atoms were placed in calculated positions [N–H = 0.86 Å and C–H = 0.93 (aromatic) or 0.96 Å (methyl)] and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Compound (I) is a mononuclear zinc(II) compound (Fig. 1). The ZnII atom exists in a pseudo-octahedral coordination environment, created by two pyridine N atoms from two methyl-3-pyridylcarbamate (mpc) ligands and four O atoms from two bidentate 2-chlorobenzoate anions. But a tetrahedral arrangement is found for the ZnII atoms in related structures, viz. [Zn(benzoato)2(mpc)2] (Zeleňák et al., 2004) and [Zn(cinnamato)2(mpc)] (Zeleňák et al., 2007). The mean Zn–N distances of 2.032 Å (in the former) and 2.021 Å (in the latter) are shorter than that in compound (I) (2.181 Å), as expected for a tetrahedral arrangement. The Zn—O distances are in the range 2.0484 (16)–2.380 (2) Å, and the Zn—N and Zn—Cl distances are 2.1012 (18) and 2.546 (2) Å, respectively.
In the crystal structure of (I), the molecules are linked by N2–H2···O2ii and C8–H8···Clii [symmetry code: (ii) x, 1/2 - y, 1/2 + z] hydrogen bonds (Table 1), forming a chain along the c axis (Fig. 2).
