Dichlorido(4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridyl)zinc

Z. Ma, B. Liang, M. Yang and L. Lu

Abstract: The title compound, [ZnCl₂(C₂₁H₁₅N₃)], was obtained from the reaction of ZnCl₂·4H₂O with 4'-phenylterpyridine (L) and disodium 2,6-dipicolinate. The Zn²⁺ cation is ligated by the N atoms of the tridentate L ligand and two chloride anions, forming a ZnN₃Cl₂ polyhedron with a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. In the crystal, nonclassical C-HCl hydrogen bonds are observed.
