catena-Poly[[dichloridozinc(II)]-μ-1,1′-(butane-1,4-diyl)diimidazole-κ2N3:N3′]

Abstract

The title compound, [ZnCl2(C10H14N4)]n, is a coordination polymer consisting of zigzag chains propagating in [001], in which the metal cation exhibits a distorted tetrahedral ZnCl2N2 coordination. Adjacent chains are linked by intermolecular C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
