Di-chlorido-(4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bi-pyridine-κ² N,N')zinc(II) aceto-nitrile monosolvate.

ABSTRACT: In the title complex, [ZnCl₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)]·CH₃CN, the zinc(II) atom is fourfold coordinated by two chloride ligands and a bidentate 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bi-pyridine ligand in a distorted tetra-hedral shape with a mol-ecule of aceto-nitrile sitting in the outer coordination sphere of the complex. π-π stacking inter-actions between the pyridyl rings in adjacent mol-ecules contribute to the alignment of the complexes in columns parallel to the a axis.
