Bis(4-aminobenzenesulfonamide-κN ⁴)dichloridozinc

Abstract

In the title compound, [ZnCl 2 (C 6 H 8 N 2 O 2 S) 2 ], the Zn II ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and has a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry, involving two Cl atoms and two N atoms from the amino groups attached directly to the benzene rings [Zn-Cl = 2.2288 (16) Å and Zn-N = 2.060 (5) Å ]. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 67.1 (3). The crystal packing can be describe as layers in a zigzag arrangement parallel to (001). The amine H atoms act as donor atoms and participate in intermolecular N-HÁ Á ÁO and N-HÁ Á ÁCl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. metal-organic compounds m28 Benmebarek et al.
