In the title compound, [ZnCl2(C15H16N2)]·CH2Cl2, the Zn(II) atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination by two Cl atoms and two N atoms from the organic ligand [the average Zn—N and Zn—Cl bond lengths are 2.060 (4) Å and Zn—Cl = 2.179 (16) Å, respectively]. The dihedral angle between the N—Zn—N and Cl—Zn—Cl planes is 89.9 (1)°. The phenyl ring forms a dihedral angle of 40.6 (5)° with the imine plane.

Acetophenone (2.04 g, 0.017 mol) was added to a solution of (S)–1–(pyridin–2–yl)ethanamine (2.07 g, 0.017 mol) in 40 ml of toluene. The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 2 days in a Dean–Stark equipment. The solvent was removed by evaporation to yield pale brown oil, 3.43 g (90% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.61 (t, 2H, ArH), 8.28 (d, 2H, ArH), 7.70 (m, 2H, ArH), 7.24 (m, 2H, ArH), 7.10 (m, 1H, ArH), 5.04 (q, J = 6.56 Hz, 1H, CH), 2.42 (s, 3H, CH3), 1.44 (d, J = 6.56 Hz, 3H, CH3). A solution of the ligand (1.01 g, 4.5 mmol) in ethanol (5 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of ZnCl2 (0.61 g, 4.5 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml). The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent was removed to yield white solid product. Colourless crystals were obtained by slow difussion of hexane to CH2Cl2 solution (1.43 g, 80%). Anal. Cacld. For [C15H16Cl2N2Zn].CH2Cl2: C, 43.14%; H, 4.07%; N, 6.29%. Found: C, 43.04%; H, 4.12%, N, 6.19%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.63 (t, 2H, ArH), 8.44 (d, 2H, ArH), 7.81 (m, 2H, ArH), 7.24 (m, 2H, ArH), 7.11 (m, 1H, ArH), 5.23 (m, 1H, CH), 2.56 (s, 3H, CH3), 2.00 (d, J = 6.42 Hz, 3H, CH3).
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with 0.96Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for CH3 groups; 0.93Å for aryl H atoms, 0.97Å for mehylene H atoms and 0.98Å for methine H atom with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The maximum remaining electron density was 0.85e/Å3 at 0.802Å from Zn.
The ligand, (S)–N–(1–phenylethylidene)–1–(pyridin–2–yl)ethanamine, was obtained from reaction of (S)–1–(pyridin–2–yl)ethanamine with acetophenone in toluene solution. The similar ligand was used in Rh or Zn complex (Brunner & Fisch, 1987; Nguyen & Jeong, 2008). The geometry around the Zn atom is nearly tetrahedral with two chlorine atoms and the one pyridyl and one amine nitrogen atoms of the ligand (Fig. 1). The dihedral angle between N—Zn—N and Cl—Zn—Cl planes is 89.9 (1)°. The phenyl cycle forms dihedral angle 40.6 (5)° with imine plane. This value may be explained by steric hinderance between the Cl atoms and phenyl moiety of organic ligand.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes. |

The ligand, (S)–N–(1–phenylethylidene)–1–(pyridin–2–yl)ethanamine, was obtained from reaction of (S)–1–(pyridin–2–yl)ethanamine with acetophenone in toluene solution. The similar ligand was used in Rh or Zn complex (Brunner & Fisch, 1987; Nguyen & Jeong, 2008). The geometry around the Zn atom is nearly tetrahedral with two chlorine atoms and the one pyridyl and one amine nitrogen atoms of the ligand (Fig. 1). The dihedral angle between N—Zn—N and Cl—Zn—Cl planes is 89.9 (1)°. The phenyl cycle forms dihedral angle 40.6 (5)° with imine plane. This value may be explained by steric hinderance between the Cl atoms and phenyl moiety of organic ligand.
