Bisμ-13-bis(45-dihydroimidazol-2-yl)benzene-κ2 N:N′bisdichloridozinc(II) NN′-dimethylformamide disolvate

摘要

The title compound, [Zn2Cl4(C12H14N4)2]·2C3H7NO, is located on a centre of inversion with one half of a complex mol­ecule and one dimethyl­formamide solvent mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The Zn^II ion is tetra­hedrally coordinated by two organic ligands and two chloride ions. Each organic ligand acts as a bidentate ligand, connecting two Zn^II ions, resulting in a dimeric [2:2] metallamacrocyclic structure. Adjacent mol­ecules are further linked by N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and the solvent is linked to the complex by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
