Abstract
The new bis(2,6-diaminopyridinium) tetrachlorozincate complex of the composition (С5Н8N \(_{3}^{ + }\) )2[ZnCl4]2– was synthesized by the reaction of 2,6-diaminopyridine with a Zn(II) ion in an ethanolic solution of hydrochloric acid. The composition and the molecular and crystal structure of the synthesized complex were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The composition of the metal complex was confirmed by elemental analysis. The chemical bonds were investigated by IR spectroscopy. Intermolecular interactions in the crystal were studied by the Hirshfeld surface analysis. The stability of the complex was determined by thermal analysis and it is, apparently, attributed to intramolecular hydrogen bonds.
