A dimeric heteroleptic five-coordinate zinc(II) complex containing a non-motionally restricted N,N'-heterocyclic ligand.
The title compound, bis(micro-1,2-benzenethiolato)-1:2kappa(3)S,S':S';2:1kappa(3)S,S':S'-bis[(2,2'-bipyridine-kappa(2)N,N')zinc(II)], [Zn(2)(micro-C(6)H(4)S(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)], crystallizes with the dinuclear molecule located on a center of symmetry. The coordination geometry about the Zn atom is a modestly distorted trigonal bipyramid, with the axial ligating atoms at an angle of 170.81 (4) degrees and the angles in the equatorial plane in the range 112.94 (4)-129.95 (4) degrees. Weak pi-stacking interactions between bipyridine ligands on adjacent molecules [interplanar spacing = 3.315 (3) A] and a possible weak intermolecular C-H.S hydrogen bond (H.S = 2.84 A) are seen in the crystal.
