Abstract

In the title compound, [ZnCl2(C9H7N)2], the ZnII cation is coordinated by two Cl− anions and two isoquinoline ligands in a distorted ZnCl2N2 tetra­hedral geometry; the two isoquinoline ring systems are twisted with respect to each other at a dihedral angle of 45.72 (8)°. The parallel isoqiunoline ring systems of adjacent mol­ecules are partially overlapped, with the shorter face-to-face distance of 3.438 (19) Å indicating the existence of weak π–π stacking in the crystal structure.

  • In the title compound, [ZnCl2(C9H7N)2], the Zn cation is coordinated by two Cl anions and two isoquinoline ligands in a distorted ZnCl2N2 tetrahedral geometry; the two isoquinoline ring systems are twisted with respect to each other at a dihedral angle of 45.72 (8)

  • The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry

  • Fractional atomic coordinates and isotropic or equivalent isotropic displacement parameters (Å2)
