Crystal structure of (7-{[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino-κ 3 N , N ′, N ′′]methyl}-5-chloroquinolin-8-ol)dibromidozinc(II)

In the title compound, [ZnBr 2 (C 22 H 19 ClN 4 O)], the Zn II atom adopts a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry, formed by two bromido ligands and three N atoms of the bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine moiety in the pentadentate ligand containing quinolinol. The Zn II atom is located well above the mean basal plane of the square-based pyramid. The apical position is occupied by a Br atom. The O and N atoms of the quinolinol moiety in the ligand are not coordinated to the Zn II atom. An intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond, generating an S (5) ring motif, stabilizes the molecular structure. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H...Br hydrogen bonds, generating ribbon structures containing alternating R 2 2 (22) and R 2 2 (14) rings. These ribbons are linked through an intermolecular C—H...Br hydrogen bond, forming a two-dimensional network sheet.
