“…The average ZnÐN bond distance of 2.042 (3) A Ê is comparable to reported average values, e.g. 2.039 (3) A Ê in ZnCl 2 (5,7-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine) 2 (Salas et al, 1994), 2.05 (1) A Ê in ZnCl 2 (1-methyltetrazole) 2 (Baenziger & Schultz, 1971), 2.059 (3) A Ê in ZnCl 2 (1-methylcytosine) 2 (Beauchamp, 1984) and 2.027 (3) A Ê in ZnCl 2 [1-(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazolyl)-3-benzimidazolyl-2-thiapropane] (Matthews et al, 1998), but longer than the average value of 2.007 (4) A Ê in Zn 0.99 Cu 0.01 Cl 2 (1,2-dimethylimidazole) 2 (Bharadwaj et al, 1991).…”
