H.-Z. Luo and H.-Y. Ye

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [ZnBr₂(C₁₂H₇D₂N₃O)]_n, the Zn atoms are coordinated by two Br atoms and by one N atom and one O atom of two symmetry-related 3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)[2,6-²H₂]pyridine N-oxide ligands in a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry. The ZnBr₂ units are connected by the organic ligands into chains.
