[2-(2,2′-Bipyridin-6-yl-κ²N¹,N^1′)benzo[b][1,5]naphthyridine-κN¹]dichloridozinc

Abstract

The coordination environment of the zinc(II) ion in the title complex, [ZnCl2(C22H14N4)], is distorted trigonal–bipyramidal comprised by three N atoms from the 2-([2,2′-bipyridin]-6-yl)benzo[b][1,5]naphthyridine ligand and two Cl−ions. In the crystal, neighbouring molecules are connected by π–π stacking interactions along thea-axis direction.
