Hexa-μ2-acetato-1:2κ4O:O′;1:2κ2O:O;2:3κ4O:O′;2:3κ2O:O-bis(2-amino-7-chloro-5-methyl-1,8-naphthyridine)-1κN1,3κN1-trizinc(II)

Abstract

The title complex, [Zn3(C2H3O2)6(C9H8ClN3)2], contains three ZnII atoms bridged by six acetate ligands. The central ZnII ion, located on an inversion centre, is surrounded by six O atoms from acetate ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry [Zn—O = 1.9588 (12)–2.1237 (12) Å]. The terminal ZnII ions are coordinated by one N atom of 2-amino-7-chloro-5-methyl-1,8-naphthyridine and three O atoms of three acetate ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The separation between the central and terminal ZnII ions is 3.245 (3) Å.
