catena-Poly[[dibromidozinc(II)]-μ-4-(3-pyridyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole]

Abstract

The title complex, [ZnBr2(C7H6N4)]n, was formed under hydro­thermal conditions using the ligand 4-(3-pyrid­yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole (L). The unique ZnII ion is coordinated by one triazole N atom, one pyridine N atom and two Br atoms in a slightly distorted tetra­hedral coordination environment. Symmetry-related ZnII ions are connected by bridging L ligands into chains parallel to [001] in which the Zn⋯Zn separation is 8.643 (7) Å. In the crystal structure, weak inter­molecular C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds link the chains into a three-dimensional network.
