Dichlorido{N′-[phenyl(pyridin-2-yl-κN)methylidene]isonicotinohydrazide-κ2N′,O}zinc
The title compound, [ZnCl2(C18H14N4O)], crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit, which differ in the tautomeric (neutral and zwitterionic) forms of the coordinating organic ligand. In both molecules, the ZnII atom adopts a distorted square–pyramidal geometry by two N and one...

| Summary: | The title compound, [ZnCl2(C18H14N4O)], crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit, which differ in the tautomeric (neutral and zwitterionic) forms of the coordinating organic ligand. In both molecules, the ZnII atom adopts a distorted square–pyramidal geometry by two N and one O atoms of the Schiff base ligand and two Cl atoms acting as monodentate chloride anions. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H...N and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the ac plane. |
