Abstract
The
Crystal
structure
of
dichloridobis(2-Isopropylimidazole)Zinc(II)[Zn(2
Isopropylimdazole)2Cl2]. The structure of title compound, [C12H20Cl2N4Zn], Consists of
centrosymmetric monomeric units, in which the ZnII atom has a tetragonallydistorded coordination
involving two imidazole N atoms and two Cl atoms in the square plane [ Zn-N = 1.998(1)Å and Zn-Cl =
2.2541(7)Å. The angles Cl-Zn-Cl and N-Zn-N are 110.34(4)° and 116.07(12)°, respectively. In the
crystal there are no classical hydrogen bonds present.Crystal data were collected using CrysAlis CCD
Oxford DiffractionX-ray diffractometer. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined on F2 by
full-matrix least-squares procedures to the final R1 of 0.0370usingSHELXL programs.
