Poly[bis(μ2-5-n-butyltetrazolato-κ2N1:N4)zinc(II)]

Abstract

In the title complex, [Zn(C5H9N4)2]n, the ZnII center is coordinated by four N atoms of different tetrazolate ligands with a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry [Zn—N distances and N—Zn—N angles are in the ranges 1.991 (2)–2.007 (2) Å and 104.22 (8)–116.13 (8)°, respectively]. Each ligand links two ZnII atoms through its 1- and 4-position tetrazole N atoms, forming a single, fully connected three-dimensional framework with a diamond-like topology. In the crystal structure, the Zn...Zn separations across each tetrazole unit are 6.115 (2) and 6.134 (2) Å and the Zn...Zn...Zn angles are in the range 107.77 (8)–116.83 (8)°.
