Synthesis and Structure of a Binuclear Zinc Complex (ZnCl(2))(PyBIm) (2)

A new binuclear zinc complex [(ZnCl2)(PyBIm)]2(PyBIm=2-(4-pyridyl)benzimidazole)has been synthesized by hydrothermal reaction.The complex crystallizes in triclinic P21/n space group with crystal cell parameters of a=0.774 51(4)nm,b=1.252 49(5)nm,c=1.315 96(7)nm,β=100.294(3)°,V=1.256 0(1)nm3 and Z=2.The crystal X-ray analysis shows that Zn atom is coordinated by two Cl atoms and two N atoms from two PyBIm ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry.The Zn…Zn separation is 0.709 4(5)nm,and the hydrogen bonding and π…π interactions also exist in the structure.CCDC:800921.
