Dichloridobis(2-methyl-1,3-benzothiazole-N)zinc(II)

S.-G. Roh and J. H. Jeong

Abstract: The reaction of 4-[(2-mercaptophenyl)amino]pent-3-en-2-one with ZnCl₂ in CH₂Cl₂ gives the title complex, [ZnCl₂(C₈H₇NS)₂], as a brown crystalline product in which 4-[(2-mercaptophenyl)amino]pent-3-en-2-one has been converted into 2-methylbenzothiazole. The Zn atom is coordinated by two chloride ions and binds to the N atoms of two 2-methylbenzothiazole ligands in a distorted tetrahedral arrangement.
