Dichlorido(2-{[3-(morpholin-4-ium-4-yl)propyl]iminomethyl}phenolate)zinc

N. A. Ikmal Hisham, H. Khaledi and H. Mohd Ali

Abstract: In the zwitterionic zinc title complex, [ZnCl₂(C₁₄H₂₀N₂O₂)], the Zn^II ion is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The Schiff base ligand employs its phenolate O and imine N atoms to coordinate the metal atom in a bidentate mode. Two Cl atoms complete the tetrahedral coordination environment. In the crystal, a pair of N-HO hydrogen bonds connect the molecules into a centrosymmetric dimer. C-HO, C-HCl and C-H interactions are also observed.
