Bis(4-amino­benzene­sulfonamide-κN⁴)di­chlorido­zinc

In the title compound, [ZnCl₂(C₆H₈N₂O₂S)₂], the Zn^II ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and has a slightly distorted tetra­hedral coordination geometry, involving two Cl atoms and two N atoms from the amino groups attached directly to the benzene rings [Zn—Cl = 2.2288 (16) Å and Zn—N = 2.060 (5) Å]. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 67.1 (3)°. The crystal packing can be describe as layers in a zigzag arrangement parallel to (001). The amine H atoms act as donor atoms and participate in inter­molecular N—H...O and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

catena-Poly[[trans-bis­(1,3-benzo­thia­zole-κN)manganese(II)]-di-μ-chlorido]

In the title coordination polymer, [MnCl₂(C₇H₅NS)₂]_n, the Mn^II ion is located on the inter­section of a twofold rotation axis and a mirror plane and adopts an octa­hedral coordination geometry defined by two mutually trans N atoms from benzo­thia­zole ligands which occupy the axial positions, and four Cl atoms which form the equatorial sites. The Mn^II ions are connected by two bridging Cl atoms, forming chains parallel to the c axis. The crystal packing can be descibed as alternating layers parallel to (001) featuring π–π stacking inter­actions with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.6029 (15) Å.
