Hexa-μ₂-acetato-1:2κ⁴ O:O′;1:2κ² O:O;2:3κ⁴ O:O′;2:3κ² O:O-bis(2-amino-7-chloro-5-methyl-1,8-naphthyridine)-1κN ¹,3κN ¹-trizinc(II)

Abstract

The title complex, [Zn 3 (C 2 H 3 O 2 ) 6 (C 9 H 8 ClN 3 ) 2 ], contains three Zn II atoms bridged by six acetate ligands. The central Zn II ion, located on an inversion centre, is surrounded by six O atoms from acetate ligands in a distorted octa­hedral geometry [Zn—O = 1.9588 (12)–2.1237 (12) Å]. The terminal Zn II ions are coordinated by one N atom of 2-amino-7-chloro-5-methyl-1,8-naphthyridine and three O atoms of three acetate ligands in a distorted tetra­hedral geometry. The separation between the central and terminal Zn II ions is 3.245 (3) Å.
