Comment top

Considerable attention has been focused on the zinc(II) complexes with multidentate Schiff base ligands (Keypour et al., 2010; Liu et al., 2011; You et al., 2011; Bhattacharjee et al., 2011; Das et al., 2010). As an extension of the work on the structural characterization of such complexes, the title new dinuclear zinc(II) complex is reported here.

The title compound is a phenolato-bridged dinuclear zinc(II) complex, as shown in Fig. 1. The Zn···Zn distance is 3.076 (1) Å. Each Zn atom is five-coordinated by two O and two N atoms from two Schiff base ligands, and by one azido N atom, forming a square pyramidal geometry. The bond lengths in the square pyramidal coordination are comparable with those reported in similar zinc complexes with Schiff bases (Adams et al., 1995; You et al., 2009; Zhou et al., 2008; Basak et al., 2007).

Experimental top

2-Acetylphenol (1 mmol, 136 mg), 2-aminomethylpyridine (1 mmol, 108 mg), sodium azide (1 mmol, 65 mg), and Zn(NO3)2.6H2O (1 mmol, 297 mg) were dissolved in MeOH (80 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h to give a colorless solution. The resulting solution was kept in air for a week, and block colorless crystals were formed.

Refinement top

H atoms were placed in idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C).

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.
