The structure of {Zn[S2CN(C3H5)2]2}2 was solved by X-ray structural analysis. The heavy atom method was used in interpretation of the structure. The dimeric compound crystallizes in the triclinic system with a space group of P1 and lattice parameters of a = 0.8218(2), b = 0.9462(6), c = 1.2942(9) nm, α = 77.70(5), β = 77.46(4), γ = 78.25(4)°. The experimentally determined density value for Z = 2 is 1.42 Mg m-3 and the calculated value is 1.44 Mg m-3. In the dimeric molecule each Zn atom is coordinated by five sulfur atoms at distances of Zn-S1 0.2346, Zn-S2 0.2339, Zn-S3 0.2468, Zn-S4 0.2846, Zn-S'4 0.2387 nm in a deformed trigonal bipyramid. The coordination number of Zn can be expressed as 3 + 1 + 1. The distance between two zinc atoms is 0.3580 nm.
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.
