Dichlorido{2-[3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazol-1-ylmethyl]pyridine}zinc(II)

C.-S. Liu and J.-N. Zhou

Abstract: In the title complex, [ZnCl₂(C₁₄H₁₂N₄)], Zn^II is pentacoordinated by three N-atom donors from one 2-[3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazol-1-ylmethyl]pyridine (L) ligand and by two Cl^- anions in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. Adjacent mononuclear Zn^II complexes form - stacking interactions between pyridine and pyrazole rings of neighbouring L ligands, with centroid-centroid separations of 3.671 (1) and 3.681 (1) Å, generating one-dimensional chains.
