Crystal structure of bis-[di-hydro-bis-(pyrazol-1-yl)borato-κ² N ²,N ^2'](1,10-phenanthroline-κ² N,N')zinc(II).

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn(C₆H₈N₄B)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)], comprises one half of a Zn^II cation (site symmetry 2), one di-hydro-bis-(pyrazol-1-yl)borate ligand in a general position, and one half of a phenanthroline ligand, the other half being completed by twofold rotation symmetry. The Zn^II cation is coordinated in form of a slightly distorted octa-hedron by the N atoms of a phenanthroline ligand and by two pairs of N atoms of symmetry-related di-hydro-bis-(pyrazol-1-yl)borate ligands. The discrete complexes are arranged into columns that elongate in the c-axis direction with a parallel alignment of the phenanthroline ligands, indicating weak π-π inter-actions.
