Poly[bis[μ2-5-(pyrimidin-2-yl)tetrazolato]zinc(II)

Abstract

The title compound, [Zn(C5H3N6)2]n, has a neutral two-dimensional square grid-like network structure, in which the central ZnII atom is located on an inversion centre and coordinated by six N atoms from four 5-(pyrimidin-2-yl)tetra­zolate ligands in a distorted octa­hedral geometry [Zn—N = 2.114 (3)–2.193 (3) A and N—Zn—N = 77.78 (9)–102.22 (9)°]. The tetra­zolate ligand adopts an N,N′:N′′-tridentate chelating–bridging coordination mode. This complex is isostructural with the iron(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) analogues.
