Diiodido{4-nitro-2-[2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethyliminomethyl]phenolato}zinc(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [ZnI2(C14H19N3O3)], the ZnII atom is four-coordinated by the imine N and phenolate O atoms of the Schiff base ligand, and by two iodide ions in a distorted tetrahedral coordination. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked through intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers.
