(Anilino{(Z)-2-[(E)-5-bromo-3-meth-oxy-2-oxidobenzyl-idene]hydrazin-1-yl-idene-κ(2)O(2),N(2)}methane-thiol-ato-κS)(4,4'-di-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine-κ(2)N,N')zinc N,N-dimethyl-formamide monosolvate.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn(C(15)H(12)BrN(3)O(2)S)(C(12)H(12)N(2))]·C(3)H(7)NO, contains two independent mol-ecules with a similar structure. The doubly deprotonated Schiff base ligand O,N,S-chelates to the metal atom, and the three coordinating atoms along with one N atom of the substituted 2,2'-bipyridine ligand constitute the square plane of the distorted square pyramid surrounding the metal atom. The apical site is occupied by the second N atom of the substituted 2,2'-bipyridine. The secondary amine group of the Schiff base dianion forms a hydrogen bond to the O atom of the dimethyl-formamide solvent. In the crystal, the phenyl ring of one of the two Schiff base anions is disordered over two positions in a 1:1 ratio. The crystal studied is a racemic twin.
