Abstract

The title zinc complex, [ZnCl₂(C₁₈H ₂₂N₄)], contains a bidentate 1,2-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H- pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)benz-ene ligand that binds to the zinc atom, forming a nine-membered metallocyclic ring. The geometry about the Zn atom is distorted tetra-hedral, with the largest deviation observed in the magnitude of the Cl - Zn - Cl angle. Similar distortions are observed in the cobalt analogue and related zinc compounds containing metallocyclic rings with more than six members. The copper analogue exhibits a more severe distortion of the metal coordination sphere than is observed in the title compound.
