The structure of the title complex, [ZnCl2(C11H9N3)2], comprises two 2-(phenyl­diazen­yl)pyridine ligands coordin­ating to a central ZnII dichloride unit via the pyridyl N-atom donors, resulting in a slightly distorted tetra­hedral geometry. The complex exhibits twofold rotation symmetry, with the rotation axis bis­ecting the zinc cation. The structure is stabilized by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl inter­actions [C⋯Cl = 3.411 (2) and 3.675 (2) Å], connecting neighbouring mol­ecules into layers perpendicular to the c axis.

Nitro­gen containing heteroaromatic systems like pyridines are some of the most investigated organic compounds primarily because of their importance in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Pyridine derivatives have been widely studied in analytical chemistry as an acid-base, redox and biomedical agent and for their photo-physical properties. A common synthetic pyridine derivative is 2-(phenyl­diazenyl)pyridine (Krause & Krause, 1980). This compound is a well known ligand with a basic nitro­gen atom on the pyridine ring able to coordinate to transition metal complexes. It has various applications, for example as a chemotherapeutic drug (Wong & Giandomenico, 1999), it has anti­cancer properties (Wu et al., 2006; Hotze et al., 2004; Velder et al., 2000) and is active in catalysing the epoxidation of olefins (Barf & Sheldon 1995). Coordination compounds of ZnII incorporating the diazenyl moiety were shown to have photochromic properties (Saha et al., 2014; Dutta et al., 2014; Datta et al., 2014) as well as non-linear optical properties, which were investigated for the storage of optical information (Zhang et al., 2012).

We here report the preparation and crystal structure of a new ZnII complex with the well known diazenyl­pyridine ligand 2-(phenyl­diazenyl)pyridine (C11H9N3), or azpy. The molecular structure of the title complex, [Zn(C11H9N3)2Cl2], is slightly distorted tetra­hedral as illustrated in Fig.1. The Zn atom is four coordinated by two azpy ligands via two N(pyridine) atoms [Zn1—N1 and Zn1—N1i = 2.0618 (15) Å] and two Cl- ions [Zn1—Cl1 and Zn1—Cl1i = 2.2472 (5) Å ; (i): -x+2,y,-z+3/2]. These values compare well with those of other related di­chloro ZnII compounds with pyridine ligands, such as [Zn(N,N-di­ethyl-4-[(pyridin-2-yl-kN)diazenyl]aniline)2Cl2] (Leesakul et al., 2011) with Zn—N distances of 2.0513 (9) and 2.0439 (19) Å or [Zn(pyridine)2Cl2] (Steffen & Palenik, 1976) with Zn —N distances of 2.046 (5) and 2.052 (6) Å. The reported Zn—Cl bond distances in the complex of Leesakul et al. averaged to 2.264 (6) Å, those in [Zn(pyridine)2Cl2] (Steffen & Palenik, 1976) averaged to 2.2215 Å, which are thus slightly longer and shorter respectively than those of the title complex [Zn(azpy)2Cl2].

The azo (NN) distance in the ZnII complex is 1.244 (2) Å, which is comparable to that in the free azpy ligand, 1.248 (4) Å (Panneerselvam et al., 2000), which is expected as the azo nitro­gen of the azpy ligand is not metal coordinated. All N—Zn—Cl, Cl—Zn—Cl and N—Zn—N bond angles deviate somewhat from the ideal from 109.5°, especially for the angle N1—Zn1—N1i = 124.45 (9)°, probably due to steric demands of the azpy ligand. The torsion angle of the pyridine-azo-phenyl atoms, C5—N2—N3—C6 is 179.59 (15)°. The dihedral angle of the mean planes between the pyridine and the phenyl ring in the ligand molecule is 11.9 (1)°.

After being filtered, the filtrate was left standing overnight at 4°C. Orange crystals were obtained (yield 71.31%, 0.179 g). Anal. Calcd for ZnC22H18N6Cl2: C, 52.56; H, 3.61; N, 16.72.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
