(Bipyridine-κ2N,N′)chlorido[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-isopropyldithiocarbamato-κ2S,S′]zinc(II)
Abstract
The ZnII atom in the title compound, [Zn(C6H12NOS2)Cl(C10H8N2)], is coordinated by a chelating N-2-hydroxyethyl-N-isopropyldithiocarbamate ligand, a 2,2′-bipyridine ligand and a Cl atom. The resulting ClN2S2 donor set defines a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. Helical supramolecular chains sustained by O—H...S hydrogen bonds and propagating along the b axis feature in the crystal packing. A three-dimensional architecture is stabilized by C—H...O, C—H...S and C—H...Cl interactions.
