Dichlorido{N-[1-(pyrazin-2-yl)ethylidene-κN1]ethane-1,2-diamine-κ2N,N′}zinc

Abstract

The ZnII atom in the title complex, [ZnCl2(C8H12N4)], is coordinated by two Cl atoms and three N atoms of the N-[1-(pyrazin-2-yl)ethylidene]ethane-1,2-diamine ligand, and displays a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with the apical position occupied by a Cl atom. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H...Cl and C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional framework.
