ABSTRACT

The new inorganic-organic hybrid complex of Zn(II) with 5-Chloro-2,4-dimethoxyaniline, (5-Cl-2,4- (OCH3)2C6H2NH3)2ZnCl4.3H2O, has been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 7.4614 (2), b = 9.8734 (2), c = 18.5678 (4) Å, α = 102.3578 (14), β = 91.0686 (15), γ = 91.2373 (12)°, V = 1335.49 (5) Å3 , Z = 2. Crystal structure has been determined and refined to R = 0.035 and Rws = 0.036 using 5107 independent reflections. In the atomic arrangement of the title compound, ZnCl42- inorganic entities, water molecule and -NH3+ groups have a layered organization around the planes z = 1/4 and z = 3/4. The crystal structure is stabilized by N-HO, O-HO, N-HCl and O-HCl hydrogen bonds.
