title: Transition metal complexes with thiosemicarbazide-based ligands. XLIII. Chlorobis(3-methylisoemicarbazide-kappa(2)N(1),N(4))zinc(II) chloride.
abstract: In the title compound, [ZnCl(C(2)H(7)N(3)S)(2)]Cl, the Zn(II) ion is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal arrangement, with the hydrazine N atoms located in the apical positions. The structure is stabilized by N[bond]H...Cl hydrogen bonds, which involve both the Cl atoms and all the hydrogen donors, except for one of the two thioamide N atoms. A comparison of the geometry of thiosemicarbazide and S-methylisothiosemicarbazide complexes with Zn(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) shows the pronounced influence of the hydrogen-bond network on the coordination geometry of Zn(II) compounds.
