Dichlorido(4′-ferrocenyl-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-κ3N,N′,N′′)zinc acetonitrile monosolvate
Abstract
The title complex, [FeZn(C5H5)Cl2(C20H14N3)]·CH3CN, is composed of one ZnII atom, one 4′-ferrocenyl-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (fctpy) ligand, two Cl atoms and one acetonitrile solvent molecule. The ZnII atom is five-coordinated in a trigonal–bipyramidal geometry by the tridentate chelating fctpy ligand and two Cl atoms.
