N)diiodidozincIn the title compound, [ZnI2(C17H20N2)2], the ZnII atom is four-coordinated by two I atoms and the N atoms of two pyridine rings belonging to different ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The coordinating pyridine rings are oriented in an almost perpendicular fashion, making a dihedral angle of 83.7 (5)°.
Fresh zinc iodide (0.32 g, 1 mmol) and the ligand (0.50 g, 2 mmol) were vigorously stirred in 15 ml of methanol until the solid phase had been completely dissolved, and then, the mixture was refluxed for 2 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered into a large test tube. Red brown needle crystals were obtained at room temperature after a week. Yield: 0.71 g (86%).
All hydrogen atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq.

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. |

In recent years, pyridine based materials have attracted considerable interests because of their significant applications in the areas of nonlinear optical (NLO), such as two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) microscopy, optical limiting. In addition, zinc complexes are particularly attractive and most studied for their biocompatibility (Wang et al., 2012; Gao et al., 2009). Herewith we present the structure of (I) which molecular structure is showed in Fig.1. The ZnII is coordinated by the N atoms of two pyridine rings belonging to diferent ligands and two iodine atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry the ZnII and with the coordinated pyridine moities oriented in an almost perpendicular fashion with a dihedral angle of 83.7 (5)°.
