Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Compound [ZnS6 (C12H8N2)]

The title compound ZnS6(C12H8N2) was obtained by reaction of zinic powder with sulfur and 1,10-phenathtroline in DMF solvent, and its structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal data for the compound: triclinic, P-1, Z = 2, a = 8. 159(2), b = 9. 485(2), c = 11. 997(2)A , α =110. 00(3)°,β = 99.22(3)°, γ = 100.57(3)°, V = 832A3, Dc =1. 748g/cm3, μ(MoKa)=0. 2219 cm-1, F(000)=440. The structure was refined to R = 0. 0723 and Rw = 0. 0865 for 1427 independent observed reflections. The tilte crystal consists of a discrete molecules, in which the core of ZnS2N2 shows a distorted tetrahedral geometry.
