Dibromido(2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-³N,N',N'')zinc(II)

Q.-L. Zhao and G.-P. Li

Abstract: In the title compound, [ZnBr₂(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)], the Zn^II ion is five-coordinated by the three N atoms from a 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand (terpy) and two bromide anions in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration. Each molecule is situated on a twofold rotational axis that passes through the Zn^II ion and the central ring of the terpy ligand. In the crystal structure, aromatic - interactions between terpy ligands [centroid-centroid distances = 3.6265 (9) Å] link molecules into stacks propagated in the [001] direction.
