Dichlorido(di-2-pyridyl sulfide-²N,N')zinc(II)

M. Wriedt, I. Jess and C. Näther

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [ZnCl₂(C₁₀H₈N₂S)], consists of a six-membered chelate ring in which the Zn atom is approximately tetrahedrally coordinated by two chloride ions and by the two pyridyl N atoms of a single di-2-pyridyl sulfide ligand. As usual for this type of complex, the sulfide group does not participate in zinc coordination. The dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings is 50.4 (1)°.
