Dibromido(di-2-pyridyl disulfide-²N,N')zinc(II)

M. Wriedt, I. Jess and C. Näther

Abstract: The molecular structure of the title compound, [ZnBr₂(C₁₀H₈N₂S₂)], contains a seven-membered chelate ring in which the zinc atom is coordinated by two bromide ions and by the two pyridyl N atoms of a single 2,2'-dipyridyldisulfide (dpds) ligand within a slightly distorted tetrahedron. As is usual for this type of complex, the disulfide group does not participate in zinc coordination. The chelate complexes are connected via weak intermolecular C-HBr hydrogen bonding into chains, which extend in the [010] direction.
