Metal–nucleobase interaction: bis[4-aminopyrimidin-2(1H)-one-κN3]dibromidozinc(II)

In the title complex, [ZnBr2(C4H5N3O)2], the central metal ion is coordinated to two bromide ions and endocyclic N atoms of the two cytosine molecules leading to a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The structure is isotypic with [CdBr2(C4H5N3O)2] [Muthiah et al. (2001). Acta Cryst. E57, m558&#...
