Dichlorido{(E)-4-dimethyl­amino-N′-(pyri­din-2-yl)methyl­idene-κNbenzo­hydrazide-κO}zinc

摘要

In the mononuclear title complex, [ZnCl2(C15H16N4O)], the Zn^II cation is five-coordinated in a strongly distorted square-pyramidal environment by two Cl⁻ anions and a neutral tridentate Schiff base ligand. The Zn^II cation is chelated by the carbonyl O atom, the imine N atom and the pyridine N atom, which causes a slight loss of planarity for the ligand; the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 4.61 (8)°.
