Dichloridobis[4-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine-κN]zinc.

ABSTRACT

In the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(8)H(7)N(3))(2)], the Zn(II) cation is coordinated by two Cl(-) anions and two 4-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine ligands in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. In the two 4-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine ligands, the dihedral angles between the pyrazole and pyridine rings are 3.3 (3) and 13.3 (3)°. Inter-molecular N-H⋯N and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
