Bis{(1-methylimidazol-2-ylmethyl)[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]amine-κ3N,N′,N′′}zinc(II) bis(hexafluoridophosphate)

Abstract

Two tridentate N-heterocyclic ligands chelate the ZnII atom in the title compound, [Zn(C12H16N4)2](PF6)2, conferring a fac-octahedral geometry. The ZnII atom lies on a center of inversion. The cation is linked to the anion by an N—H...F hydrogen bond.
