Crystal structure of di-chlorido-bis-(1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethyl-2H-imidazole-2-thione-κS)zinc(II).

ABSTRACT: The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, [ZnCl2(C11H20N2S)2], shows tetra-hedral Zn coordination from two Cl ligands and two thione groups. The Zn-Cl bond lengths differ sligthly at 2.2310 (10) and 2.2396 (11) Å while the Zn-S bond lengths are equal at 2.3663 (9) and 2.3701 (10) Å. The Cl-Zn-Cl angle is 116.04 (4) and S-Zn-S is 101.98 (3)°. All other angles at the central Zn atom range from 108.108 (3) to 110.21 (4)°. The C-S-Zn angles are 100.75 (10) and 103.68 (11)°, the difference most probably resulting from packing effects, as both the C-S and both the S-Zn bonds are equal in each case. The two imidazole ring planes make a dihedral angle of 67.9 (1)°. The CH3 groups of one isopropyl moiety are disordered over two sets of sites with occupation factors of 0.567 (15) and 0.433 (15
