Description
Summary:In the title complex, [ZnCl 2 (C 13 H 17 N 3 )], the coordination sphere of the zinc cation is distorted square pyramidal. The three N atoms of the N , N ′, N ′′-tridentate 8-[2-(dimethylamino)ethylamino]quinoline ligand and one chloride ion constitute a considerably distorted square base. The apical site is occupied by another chloride ion. The distortion from the ideal square-pyramidal geometry is manifested by the N—Zn—N angle of 133.25 (11)°. Like most square-pyramidal metal complexes, the zinc cation is displaced towards the apical chloride ion. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...Cl interactions. This leads to the formation of chains of molecules parallel to the b -axis direction.
