Bis(4-aminobenzenesulfonamide-κN4)dichloridozinc

Abstract

In the title compound, [ZnCl2(C6H8N2O2S)2], the ZnII ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and has a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry, involving two Cl atoms and two N atoms from the amino groups attached directly to the benzene rings [Zn—Cl = 2.2288 (16) Å and Zn—N = 2.060 (5) Å]. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 67.1 (3)°. The crystal packing can be describe as layers in a zigzag arrangement parallel to (001). The amine H atoms act as donor atoms and participate in intermolecular N—H...O and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
