Dibromido(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2)N,N')zinc.
The reaction of equimolar amounts of zinc bromide and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline in dry methanol provided the title compound, [ZnBr(2)(C(14)H(12)N(2))], in good yield. The Zn(II) ion is coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral environment by two N atoms from the chelating 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two bromide ions. There is inter-molecular π-π stacking between adjacent phenanthroline units, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.594 (3) and 3.652 (3) Å.
