Dichloridobis(1-ethyl-2,6-dimethylpyridinium-4-olate-κO)zinc(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [ZnCl2(C9H13NO)2], the ZnII ion is coordinated by two Cl− anions and two O atoms of two zwitterionic organic ligands in a distorted tetrahedral arrangement. In the crystal, molecules are linked into sheets parallel to the bc plane by C—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen bonds and weak π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.669 (1) Å].
