Chlorido­(4′-chloro-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-κ3N,N′,N′′)(tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonato-κO)zinc(II) aceto­nitrile monosolvate

ABSTRACT: The title compound structure is a unique example of a zinc(II) metal center surrounded by a tridentate chloro­terpyridine ligand, a chloride and a coordinated tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. In the title complex, [Zn(CF3O3S)Cl(C15H10ClN3)]·CH3CN, the zinc(II) core is fivefold coordinated by one chloride, one tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate O atom and three terpyridine N atoms in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The structure provides a distinct example amongst other zinc(II) 4-chloro­terpyridine complexes because of the unusual planarity of the coordinated chloride, the short length of the Zn—N bond opposite to the chloride ligand [1.9572 (15) Å], and the presence of an elongated Zn—O bond [2.3911 (14) Å] in the coordinated tri­fluoro­meth
