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

M. Wriedt, I. Jess and C. Näther

Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, [ZnBr₂(C₁₀H₈N₂S)], contains a six-membered chelate ring in a boat conformation in which the Zn atom is coordinated by two Br atoms and by the two pyridyl N atoms of a single di-2-pyridyl sulfide (dps) ligand within a slightly distorted tetrahedron. The dihedral angle between the pyridine rings is 52.7 (1)°. As is usual for this type of complex, the sulfide group does not participate in the zinc coordination.
