Crystal and molecular structure of bis(diethylenetriamine)zinc(II) dibromide monohydrate

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined from X-ray diffractometer data by Patterson and Fourier methods. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c with a= 1381(1), b= 891·4(4), c= 1428·1 (6) pm, β= 101·23(3)°, and Z= 4. Least-squares refinement of 595 independent observed reflections led to R 0·064. Significant differences in the bonding were found between this structure and the isomorphous copper(II) complex.
