3N2,N1,N6)zinc(II)In the title compound, [ZnBr2(C24H16N6)], the ZnII ion is coordinated by the N,N',N''-tridentate 2,3,5,6-tetra-2-pyridylpyrazine ligand and two bromide ions, generating a distorted ZnN3Br2 trigonal-bipyramidal geometry for the metal ion, with both bromide ions in equatorial sites. The dihedral angles between the pyrazine ring and the coordinated pyridine rings are 13.3 (2) and 24.8 (2)°; those between the pyrazine ring and the uncoordinated pyradine rings are 31.3 (2) and 44.2 (2)°. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of weak C-H
Br hydrogen bonds occur.
A solution of 2,3,5,6-tetra(2-pyridinyl)pyrazine (0.40 g, 1.00 mmol) in HCCl3 (20 ml) was added to a solution of ZnBr2 (0.23 g, 1.00 mmol) in methanol (20 ml) at room temperature. The suitable crystals for X-ray diffraction experiment were obtained by methanol diffusion to a colorless solution in DMSO. Yellow prisms of (I) were isolated after one week (yield; 0.45 g, 73.3%).
All H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93Å and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Goodwin & Lyons (1959) reported the synthesis of 2,3,5,6-tetra(2-pyridinyl)pyrazine (tppz). Bock et al. (1992) and Greaves & Stoeckli-Evans (1992) determined the structure of tppz by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. tppz is a good bis-tridentate bridging ligand, and numerous complexes with tppz have been prepared, such as that of ruthenium (Hadadzadeh et al., 2006), platinum (Sakai & Kurashima, 2003), mercury (Zhang et al., 2005), copper (Carranza et al., 2004), iron (Laine et al., 1995), nickel (Graf et al., 1997), palladium (Yamada et al., 2000), cadmium (Seyed Sadjadi et al., 2008) and lead (Morsali & Ramazani, 2005). For further investigation of 2,3,5,6-tetra(2-pyridinyl)pyrazine, we synthesis the title complex, (I), and report herein its crystal structure.
In the title compound, (Fig. 1), the ZnII atom is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal configuration by three N atoms from one 2,3,5,6-tetra(2-pyridinyl)pyrazine and two terminal Br. The Zn—N and Zn—Br bond lengths and angles (Table 1) are within normal range of [ZnCl2 (tppz)], (Graf et al., 1993) and [ZnBr2(6,6'-dmbpy)], (Alizadeh et al., 2009) [where 6,6'-dmbpy is 6,6'-dimethyl-2, 2'-bipyridine] respectively.
In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H···Br hydrogen bonds (Table 2, Fig. 2) may stabilize the structure.
