| Abstract: | The ligand N,N‐dimethyl(N′‐trimethylsilyl)ethane‐1,2‐diamine (HL) was treated with ZnEt2 in varying stoichiometric ratios to synthesize [EtZnL]2 and [ZnL2] complexes. Crystal data: [EtZnL]2, monoclinic, P21/n, a = 10.0149(5) Å, b = 8.0296(3) Å, c = 16.1689(8) Å, β = 91.715(2)°. [ZnL2], monoclinic, P21/n, a = 8.8457(3) Å, b = 15.4249(6) Å, c = 16.0121(7) Å, β = 92.656(1)°. The former complex is an amido nitrogen bridged dimer with distorted tetrahedral stereochemistry of the zinc atom and the latter is a distorted tetrahedral monomer based on amide/amine chelation. |
