2N,N']zinc(II)In the title compound, [ZnCl2(C10H22N2)], the ZnII ion coordinates to the N atoms of tetramethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine and to two chloride ions in an approximately tetrahedral arrangement. The N-Zn-N and Cl-Zn-Cl planes are approximately orthogonal, with a dihedral angle of 89.7 (2)° between them. Four C atoms of the cyclohexane ring, together with their attached H atoms, are disordered equally over two sites.
To a solution of ZnCl2 (0.084 g, 0.61 mmol) in THF (10 ml) was added dropwise a solution of trans-(1R,2R)- N,N,N',N'-tetramethylcycloheane-1,2-diamine (0.93 g, 0.61 mmol) in THF (10 ml). The mixture was stirred for 2 days at room temperature. The solvent was removed and the residue was washed with ether to give a white solid. Colorless crystals was obtained from methanol solution. Yield; 1.40 g (75%). Anal. Calcd. for C10H22Cl2N2Zn: C, 39.18; H, 7.23; N, 9.14. Found: C, 39.15; H, 7.24; N, 9.10%. 1H NMR (CDCl3); δ 2.45(m, 4H, CHDA), 2.08(m, 2H, CHDA), 1.86(m, 2H, CHDA), 1.25(m, 1H, CHDA), 1.13(m, 1H, CHDA). 2.27(s, 12H, CH3).
The C3, C5, C6 and C8 carbon atoms of the cyclohexane ring are disordered over two positions. They were refined isotropically at half occupancies. All H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with d(C—H) = 0.98 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq (C) for CH, 0.97 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq (C) for CH2 and 0.96 Å, Uiso = 1.5Ueq (C) for CH3 atoms.

Chiral N,N,N',N'-tetramethylcycloheane-1,2-diamine has been used as enantioselective additive for the asymmetric addition of aryl or alkyl lithium to pro-chiral imines (Cabello et al., 2005; Kizirian et al., 2005). Crystal structures of zinc complexes containing non-macrocyclic cyclohexane- 1,2-diamine as ligand are very rare (Roh et al., 2004). Herein, we report the crystal structure of the ZnII complex bearing N,N,N',N'-tetramethylcycloheane-1,2-diamine and two chloride anions. The geometry around ZnII is a near tetrahedron while the Cu(II) complex bearing the same ligand has a distorted square-planar geometry (Pavlova et al., 2003). The angles between N—Zn—N and Cl—Zn—Cl planes are 89.7 (2)°.
