The title compound was prepared by the addition of ZnCl2 (1.0 mmol) to an ethanol solution (20 ml) of pyridine-3-carbalehyde (nicotinaldehyde, 2.0 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 80°C for 2 h and filtered. Colorless prismatic single crystals were obtained from the filtrate upon slow evaporation of the solvent over several days.
All H atoms on aromatic rings were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93 Å) and were refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(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. |

Coordination compounds of the type ZnL2Cl2 (L = 2-NH2py, 4-CNpy, 4-CH3py, 4-CH3COpy,3-NH2COpy, etc (py = pyridine)) have been previously prepared and studied by several groups (Qin et al., 1999; Steffen & Palenik, 1977; Lynton & Sears, 1971; Ide et al., 2002). In this paper, we report the crystal structure of the new mononuclear zinc complex Zn(3-CHOpy)2Cl2 (where 3-CHOpy is 3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde or nicotinaldehyde).
As illustrated in Fig. 1, the ZnII centre lies on a symmetry plane, defined by the zinc atom and the two chlorine atoms. The zinc center is coordinated to two N atoms from two 3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde ligands and two Cl atoms, and displays a distorted tetrahedral geometry. In the packing, C—H···O hydrogen bonding interactions (Table 1) stabilize the structural components (Fig. 2).
