Poly[(μ2-azido-κ2N1:N1)[μ2-5-(8-quinolyloxymethyl)tetrazolato-κ4N1,O,N5:N4]zinc(II)]

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(C11H8N5O)(N3)]n, the Zn atom is hexacoordinated by five N atoms and one O atom in a distorted octahedral geometry. The chelating 5-(8-quinolyloxymethyl)tetrazolate ligands are approximately planar, with a dihedral angle of 3.6 (2)° between the quinoline and tetrazole planes. Adjacent Zn atoms are linked by two bridging azide ligands across a centre of inversion, and further coordination by one N atom of an adjacent tetrazole unit forms two-dimensional frameworks in (100). C—H...N interactions exist between ligands in neighbouring layers.
