Abstract: | The structure of [Zn(C19H12N5)2], which is monomeric and consists of neutral Zn(bbip‐H)2 entities [bbip‐H is the anionic form of bis(benzimidazolyl)pyridine, formed by the loss of one H atom], has been solved from a racemic twin. The Zn atom lies at a site with imposed 222 symmetry and the bbip‐H ligand has imposed twofold symmetry. The imidazolyl H atom is disordered over two symmetry‐related positions, thus raising the molecular symmetry as required by the space group. The angle between the planes of the two coordinated bbip‐H ligands is 84.6 (3)°, so defining a distorted octahedral environment around the metal atom. |
