Dibromido(di-2-pyridyl sulfide-κ2 N,N′)zinc(II)

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, [ZnBr2(C10H8N2S)], contains a six-membered chelate ring in a boat conformation in which the Zn atom is coordinated by two Br atoms and by the two pyridyl N atoms of a single di-2-pyridyl sulfide (dps) ligand within a slightly distorted tetra­hedron. The dihedral angle between the pyridine rings is 52.7 (1)°. As is usual for this type of complex, the sulfide group does not participate in the zinc coordination
