(N-{Amino-[(di-amino-methyl--idene)amino]-methyl--idene}-N-methyl-methanaminium)tri-bromido-zinc(II)

摘要

In the title compound, [ZnBr3(C4H12N5)], the ZnII?cation is tetra-hedrally coordinated by three bromide ions and the (N-{amino-[(di-amino-methyl-ene)amino]-methyl-ene}-N-methyl-methanaminium) cation that binds through the central N atom. The complex is of inter-est as a potential anti-diabetic drug of the biguanide family. The crystal structure is stabilized by an extensive series of N—H?Br and C—H?Br hydrogen bonds, which combine to form a three-dimensional structure.
