Description
Summary:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn(C15H12BrN3O2S)(C12H12N2)]·C3H7NO, contains two independent molecules with a similar structure. The doubly deprotonated Schiff base ligand O,N,S-chelates to the metal atom, and the three coordinating atoms along with one N atom of the substituted 2,2′-bipyridine ligand constitute the square plane of the distorted square pyramid surrounding the metal atom. The apical site is occupied by the second N atom of the substituted 2,2′-bipyridine. The secondary amine group of the Schiff base dianion forms a hydrogen bond to the O atom of the dimethylformamide solvent. In the crystal, the phenyl ring of one of the two Schiff base anions is disordered over two positions in a 1:1 ratio. The crystal studied is a racemic twin.
