Dimeth-yl(2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-κN,N',N'')zinc(II).

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Zn(CH(3))(2)(C(15)H(11)N(3))], was synthesized by the addition of dimethyl-zinc to 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine and was crystallized by the slow evaporation of THF. The penta-coordinate Zn(II) atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, displays a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, with two terminal N atoms at the axial positions and the central N atom and two methyl C atoms at the equatorial positions.
