Bis(2-aminopyrimidine-κN1)dibromidozinc(II)

Abstract

The title compound, [ZnBr2(C4H5N3)2], is a mononuclear complex in which the ZnII ions have distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The ZnII ion binds to two N atoms from two different 2-aminopyrimidine ligands and two bromide ions. N—H...N hydrogen bonds link the molecules to form a one-dimensional supramolecular structure. The supramolecular chains are parallel to each other and N—H...Br hydrogen bonds link them into a two-dimensional network in the ac plane. Additionally, there are strong π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.403 (3) Å].
