metal-organic compounds
The title compound, (C6H9N2S)[ZnCl3{SC(NH2)2}], exists as a zincate where the zinc(II) centre is coordinated by three chloride ligands and a thiourea ligand to form the anion. The organic cation adopts the protonated 4,6-dimethyl-2-sulfanylidenepyrimidin-1-ium (L) form of 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2(1H)-thione. Two short N—HCl hydrogen bonds involving the pyrimidine H atoms and the [ZnCl3L]− anion form a crystallographically centrosymmetric dimeric unit consisting of two anions and two cations. The packing structure is completed by longer-range hydrogen bonds donated by the thiourea NH2 groups to chloride ligand hydrogen-bond acceptors.
metal-organic compounds
A 4-(isonicotinamido)phthalate ligand links NiII centres into a three-dimensional structure with sra topology. The structure is stabilized by N-HO hydrogen bonding between uncoordinated amide groups and extensive O-HO hydrogen bonding between the coordinated water molecules.
