In the title complex, [ZnCl₂(C₈H₇N₃O₂)₂], the Zn^II atom is coordinated by two chloride ions and two N atoms in a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

Recently, we reported the structure of 2-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3] triazol-1-yl)acetonitrile (Xu et al. (2007)). The reaction of it with ZnCl₂ in ethanol-water solution gives the title complex. The zinc(II) center is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms from the benzotriazole rings and two terminal chloride anions in a distorted tetrahedral arrangement as shown in Fig. 1. The angle between the two benzotriazole rings is 62.98 (7)°.

From Fig. 2, it is easy to see that the structure is consolidated by extensive C—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds. This hydrogen bonding with the π-π stacking between neighboring results to the formation of three-dimensional structure.

Experimental top

The ligand, 2-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)acetonitrile, was synthesized by the reaction of benzotriazole and bromoacetonitrile according to the procedure described in the literature (Danan et al. (1997)).

A mixture of 2-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)acetonitrile (32 mg, 0.2 mmol), ZnCl₂(40 mg, 0.3 mmol), ethanol(1 ml) and a few drops of water sealed in a glass tube maintained at 120 °C. Colorless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained after several days.

Special details top

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 > 2σ(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.
