Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Mononuclear Bis(2-aminopyridine)zinc Complex

Abstract

2-Aminopyridine reacts with Zn(OAc)₂·2H₂O in alcohol   results in formation of the mononuclear bis(2-aminopyridine)-   zinc complex and its structure was determined by X-ray diffraction   analysis. The complex is also characterized by NMR,   IR, MS, elemental analysis, The crystal is of prismatic, space   group P2(1)/n ,with a = 9.1914(8) Å, b = 13.8595(12) Å, c =   13.2921(12) Å, α = 90.00 º, β = 92.474 º, γ = 90.00 º, λ =   0.7103 º, V = 1691.7(3), Z = 4, D_c = 1.459 g/cm³, M_r = 371.69   and F(000) = 768, R₁ = 0.0416, wR₂ = 0.0793 for 3689   observed reflections with I>2σ(I).
