The Schiff base ligand was synthesized by the reaction of tryptamine (0.32 g, 2 mmol), 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde (0.24 g, 2 mmol) and zinc acetate (0.19 g, 1 mmol) in ethanol. There organic reagents were first heated for an hour. Zinc acetate was then added followed by excess of triethylamine (1 ml). Crystals were obtained by recrystallization from dimethylformamide.
All H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with distance restraints of C–H 1.00 Å and N–H 0.88 Å; their temperature factors were freely refined.

We have recently reported the low-temperature structure of the zinc derivative of the ligand without any substituent, [C17H15N2O)2Zn] (Ng, 2008); the low-temperature structure is identical to the room-temperature structure (Chen et al., 2007). The present compound has a chlorine substituent but this does not lead to significant changes to the bond dimensions of the central metal.
