Catena-Poly[(dichloridozinc)-μ-4,4'-bis-[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)meth-yl]biphenyl-κ(2)N(3):N(3')].

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(20)H(18)N(4))](n), the Zn(II) ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and is four-coordinated in a tetra-hedral geometry defined by two Cl anions and two N atoms from two 4,4'-bis-[(imidazol-1-yl)meth-yl]biphenyl ligands. The mid-point of the ligand is located on an inversion center, and shows a trans conformation. The ligands link the Zn(II) ions, forming a chain structure along [10-1].
