(Dicyanamido)[tris-(2-pyridylmeth-yl)amine]zinc(II) perchlorate
Abstract:
In the title complex, [Zn(C(2)N(3))(C(18)H(18)N(4))]ClO(4), the Zn(II) ion has a slightly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal ZnN(5) coordination geometry. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In addition, there are relatively close contacts between the O atoms of the perchlorate anion and symmetry-related pyridine rings [O⋯Cg = 3.179 (3) and 3.236 (3) Å, where Cg is the centroid of a pyridine ring], and between the terminal N atom of the dicyanamide ligand and pyridine rings [N⋯Cg = 3.381 (4)-3.761 (3) Å]. The central N atom of the dicyanamide ligand is disordered over two sites in an approximately 0.6:0.4 ratio.

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...
