title: Dichlorobis(imidazolidin-2-one-kappaO)zinc(II) at 150 K.
abstract: In the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(3)H(6)N(2)O)(2)], the zinc(II) cation is surrounded by a distorted tetrahedral environment consisting of two Cl anions and two imidazolidin-2-one molecules, the latter bound to the metal through their carbonyl O atoms. All atoms that are able to participate in hydrogen bonding are involved in such interactions. A hydrogen-bonding network mediates the formation of molecular columns parallel to the a axis. Neighboring columns are not bound by significant non-covalent interactions; the result is an extended pattern of supramolecular aggregation that is intermediate in completeness between the situations observed in two related complexes of cobalt that have been studied previously.
