Abstract:
The title compound, (C6H9N2)[ZnCl3(C6H8N2)], consists of one 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium cation and one (2-amino-5-methylpyridine)trichlorozincate(II) anion, which are held together by N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds and pi-pi interactions. The cation and the pyridine ligand show similar geometric features, except for the N-C bond lengths. Molecules of the title compound are connected by N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds to form chiral chains; these chains are associated further by C-H...Cl hydrogen bonds to form layers, which are in turn linked by pi-pi interactions.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
