{Bis[2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)ethyl]amine-κ²N,N′}dichloridozinc(II) methanol solvate

In the title compound, [ZnCl₂(C₁₄H₂₃N₅)]·CH₃OH, the Zn atom is coordinated by two N atoms and two Cl atoms in an approximately tetrahedral arrangement. The dihedral angle between the N—Zn—N and Cl—Zn—Cl planes is 89.69 (5)°. The methanol solvent molecule takes part in the formation of the hydrogen-bond system.

Comment top

The ligand, bis[2–(3,5–dimethylpyrazol–1–yl)ethyl]amine, synthesized (Sorrell & Malachowski, 1983) and its complex of cobalt, copper or zinc was reported (van Berkel et al., 1994). Nickel complex of the ligand was reported as an efficient catalyst for dimerization of enthylene to 1–butene (Ajellal et al., 2006). Aluminium and zinc alkyl complexes bearing the ligand were synthesized and show the activities on polymerization of methyl methacrylate and lactide (Lian et al., 2007). Also palladium complexes containing the ligand were reported (Pañella et al., 2006; Mendoza et al., 2006). In the title complex, the ligand acts as bidentate though it is a potential tridentate. However, the ligand was κ³ bonding mode at zinc from reaction ZnCl₂–to–ligand ratio of 2:1 (van Berkel et al., 1994). Herein, we report the crystal structure of Zn(II) complex containing bis[2–(3,5–dimethylpyrazol–1–yl)ethyl]amine as bidentate. The geometry around Zn(II) is an approximately tetrahedron. The dihedral angle between N—Zn—N and Cl—Zn—Cl planes is 89.69 (5)°.

The methanol solvate molecule takes part in the formation of H–bonds system: the hydroxo–group of one is a donor and acceptor in this system - see table of hydrogen–bond geometry.

Experimental top

To bis{2–(3,5–dimethyl–1–pyrazolyl)ethyl}amine (1.67 g, 6.4 mmol) was added dropwise a solution of ZnCl₂ (0.87 g, 6.4 mmol) in methanol (20 ml). The mixture was stirred for 1 day at room temperature. The solvent was removed and the residue was washed with ether to give white solids. Colorless crystals was obtained from methanol solution. Yield; 1.63 g (64%). Anal. Calculated for C₁₅H₂₇Cl₂N₅OZn: C, 41.93; H, 6.33; N, 16.30. Found: C, 42.09; H, 6.24; N, 16.46%. ¹H NMR (DMSO–d₆); δ 5.97 (s, H-Pz), 4.20 (t, CH₂-Pz, J=6.0, 5.7 Hz), 3.07 (t, NCH₂–, J=5.7, 5.4 Hz), 2.25 (s, CH₃-Pz), 2.18 (s, CH₃-Pz), where Pz - pyrazolyl.
