Abstract
The metal coordination in the mononuclear complex diamminebis(sulfadiazine)zinc
shows a unique temperature dependence: High-resolution diffraction
data prove that the coordination is almost tetrahedral at 100 K, whereas
a fifth longer interaction becomes relevant at 200 K. The change in
the geometry is fully reversible and is also reflected in the charge
density of the compound
