AI Article Synopsis

  • The studied complex contains a zinc ion coordinated to two bidentate 2,2'-bipyridine ligands and two dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) molecules, forming a distorted octahedral structure.
  • The S atom and methyl groups of one DMSO molecule are found to be disordered, existing in nearly equal proportions.
  • Crystal stabilization occurs through C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding between DMSO solvent molecules and tetra-phenyl-borate anions.

Article Abstract

In the mononuclear title complex, [Zn(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(C(2)H(6)OS)(2)](C(24)H(20)B)(2)·C(2)H(6)OS, the Zn(II) ion is coordinated by four N atoms of two bidentate 2,2'-bipyridine mol-ecules and by the O atoms of two cis-disposed dimethyl sulfoxide mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The S atom and the methyl groups of one of the coordinated dimethyl sulfoxide mol-ecules are disordered in a 0.509 (2):0.491 (2) ratio. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the dimethyl sulfoxide solvent mol-ecules and tetra-phenyl-borate anions.
