Bis(azido-κN)bis[4-(dimethylamino)pyridine-κN]zinc

Abstract

In the title complex, [Zn(N3)2(C7H10N2)2], the ZnII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) ligands and by two N atoms from two azide anions in a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. In the crystal, weak C—H...N hydrogen bonds between the DMAP and azide ligands link these discrete complex molecules into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
