Dichloridobis(isoquinoline-κN)zinc(II)
In the title compound, [ZnCl2(C9H7N)2], the ZnII cation is coordinated by two Cl− anions and two isoquinoline ligands in a distorted ZnCl2N2 tetrahedral geometry; the two isoquinoline ring systems are twisted with respect to each other at a dihedral angle of 45.72 (8)&...

Summary: | In the title compound, [ZnCl2(C9H7N)2], the ZnII cation is coordinated by two Cl− anions and two isoquinoline ligands in a distorted ZnCl2N2 tetrahedral geometry; the two isoquinoline ring systems are twisted with respect to each other at a dihedral angle of 45.72 (8)°. The parallel isoqiunoline ring systems of adjacent molecules are partially overlapped, with the shorter face-to-face distance of 3.438 (19) Å indicating the existence of weak π–π stacking in the crystal structure. |
