The title compound, [ZnCl2(C16H14N4)], crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The ZnII atoms show distorted tetrahedral coordination environments. Adjacent mol­ecules are linked by N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

Related literature top

For the synthesis of the ligand, see: van Albada et al. (1995). For the zinc dichloride adduct of a similar N-heterocycle, see: Zhou et al. (2010).

Experimental top

1,4-Bis(2-benzimidazolyl)ethanebutane was synthesized by using a literature method (van Albada et al., 1995). To a solution of zinc chloride hexahydrate (0.25 g, 1 mmol) in ethanol (3 ml) was added an aqueous solution (4 ml) of the ligand (0.24 g, 1 mmol). The reactants were sealed in a 15-ml Teflon-lined, stainless-steel Parr bomb. The bomb was heated at 413 K for 3 days. The cool solution yielded single crystals in ca 30% yield.

Refinement top

Hydrogen atoms were generated geometrically and were constrained to ride on their parent atoms [C–H = 0.95–0.99 Å; N–H 0.88 Å Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N)].
