AI Article Synopsis
- The crystal structure of the salt (C10H10N2)[ZnCl4] features a bi-pyridine-diium dication that is non-planar, with a noticeable angle between its two rings.
- In the structure, the distorted [ZnCl4](2-) anions are arranged in rods that run parallel to the [001] direction, while the organic cations form corrugated layers parallel to the (100) plane.
- The connection between cations and anions is facilitated by N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, which create chains in the [20-1] direction, along with additional C-H⋯Cl interactions that enhance overall stability of the crystal.
Article Abstract
In the crystal structure of the title salt, (C10H10N2)[ZnCl4], the bi-pyridine-diium dication is not planar, with a dihedral angle of 37.21 (9)° between the planes of the two pyridine rings. In the crystal, the slightly distorted [ZnCl4](2-) anions are packed into rods parallel to [001], with the organic cations arranged in corrugated layers parallel to (100). Cations and anions are linked through N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to [20-1]. Additional C-H⋯Cl inter-actions consolidate the crystal packing.
