Dichlorido(2,6-dipyrazol-1-ylpyridine)zinc(II)
Abstract
In the title complex, [ZnCl2(C11H9N5)], the ZnII ion assumes a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal ZnN3Cl2 coordination geometry [Zn—N = 2.1397 (16)–2.2117 (17) Å, Zn—Cl = 2.2470 (6) and 2.2564 (6) Å]. The crystal packing exhibits π–π stacking interactions between the 2,6-dipyrazol-1-ylpyridine ligands of neighbouring molecules.
