(4′-Chloro-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-κ3N,N′,N′′)bis(nitrato-κO)zinc(II)

ABSTRACT: The coordination of the ZnII central atom in the title complex, [Zn(C15H10ClN3)(NO3)2], exists in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry defined by the nitro­gen atoms of the 4-chloro­terpyridine ligand and two monodentate nitrate groups. In the title complex, [Zn(C15H10ClN3)(NO3)2], the central zinc(II) atom is penta­coordinated by two O-bonded nitrate ions and three N atoms of the 4′-chloro-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine ligand in a slightly distorted trigonal–bipyramidal shape. The main feature of the title complex packing is the presence of offset π–π inter­actions between the terpyridine rings in different layers. This structure constitutes the first known example of a zinc(II) 4-chloro­terpyridine complex with coordinating nitrate ions.
