Poly[bis(μ2-5-{4-[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]phenyl}tetrazolato)zinc]

In the title compound, [Zn(C11H9N6)2]n, the ZnII atom lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by four N atoms from four 5-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)phenyl]tetrazolate ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The ligands bridge the ZnII atoms, leading to the formation of a two-dimensional...

Description
Summary:In the title compound, [Zn(C11H9N6)2]n, the ZnII atom lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by four N atoms from four 5-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)phenyl]tetrazolate ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The ligands bridge the ZnII atoms, leading to the formation of a two-dimensional network parallel to (010). The structure is further stabilized by C—H...N, C—H...π and π–π [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7523 (11) Å] interactions within the network.
