Crystal structure of bis-[4-(4-chloro-benz-yl)pyridine-κN]bis-(thio-cyanato-κN)zinc.

ABSTRACT: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(NCS)2(C12H10ClN)2], the Zn(2+) cation is N-coordinated by two terminally bonded thio-cyante anions and by two 4-(4-chloro-benz-yl)pyridine ligands within a slightly distorted tetra-hedron. The asymmetric unit consists of half of the discrete complex, the central Zn(2+) cation of which is located on a twofold rotation axis. The discrete complexes are linked into layers via a weak inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding inter-action, with a H⋯Cl distance of 2.85 Å and a C-H⋯Cl angle of 151°. These layers extend parallel to the ab plane and are held together by dispersion forces only.
