Dibenzoatobis[3-(pyrrol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine]-zinc(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(C7H5O2) 2(C10H10N2)2], the ZnII ion, located on a twofold axis, is coordinated by two N atoms from two 3-(pyrrol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine ligands and two O atoms from two benzoate ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The pyridine and the pyrrole rings are nearly perpendicular to each other, making a dihedral angle of 84.83 (7)°.
