The ZnII atom in the title complex, [ZnCl2(C8H12N4)], is coordinated by two Cl atoms and three N atoms of the N-[1-(pyrazin-2-yl)ethylidene]ethane-1,2-diamine ligand, and displays a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with the apical position occupied by a Cl atom. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional framework.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
