Aquachloridobis(1,10-phenanthroline-²N,N')zinc(II) chloride N,N-dimethylformamide solvate

L.-L. Kong, S. Gao, L.-H. Huo and S. W. Ng

Abstract: The Zn atom in the title salt, [ZnCl(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)]Cl·C₃H₇NO, is chelated by two phenanthroline molecules and is bonded to one chloride ion and one water molecule, resulting in a ZnN₄ClO octahedral coordination environment with the Cl and O atoms in a cis conformation. The cations and anions are linked by O-HCl hydrogen bonds across a center of inversion, forming a hydrogen-bonded dimeric association. The dimethylformamide solvent molecule is disordered over two orientations in a 0.56 (1):0.44 (1) ratio.
