Comment
Much interest has recently been focused on the rational design and construction of novel discrete and polymeric metal-organic complexes, not only due to their structural and topological novelty (Batten & Robson, 1998, Moler et al., 2001, Moulton & Zaworotko, 2001), but also for their potential applications as functional materials such as catalysis, molecular recognition, separation, and nonlinear optics (Hong et al., 2004, Evans & Lin, 2002, Kasai et al. 2000, Kitagawa et al., 2004). It has shown that many factors such as the coordination geometry of metal ions (Chi et al.,2006), the structure of organic ligands (Wang et al.,2006), the solvent system (Ryu et al., 2005), the counteranion (Luan et al., 2006), and the ratio of ligands to metal ions (Blake et al., 1999, Saalfrank et al., 2001) influence highly on the structure of metal-organic complexes. In addition, it has been considered that the secondary forces such as hydrogen-bonding, pi-pi stacking, and host–guest interactions are of importance as well (Luan et al., 2005, Janaik & Scharmann, 2003, Janiak, 2003). For obtaining novel structural motifs with predictable properties, therefore, a large number of organic ligands were designed and utilized. Among them, 2,6-dimethylpyrazine was often selected. We have also reacted ZnI2 with 2,6-dimethylpyrazine to form a new zinc complex and report here on the crystal structure of diiodobis(2,6-dimethylpyrazine)zinc(II).
Asymmetric unit contains a whole molecule (Fig. 1). ZnII ion is coordinated by two iodide anions and two nitrogen atoms from 2,6-dimethylpyrazine to form a distorted tetrahedral geometry (Fig. 1). Zn—I bond distances are 2.5393 (7) and 2.5442 (6) Å, and I—Zn—I and N—Zn—N bond angles are 122.78 (2) and 101.39 (14)°, respectively.
Experimental
244.29 mg (0.75 mmol) of ZnI2 were dissolved in 4 ml water and carefully layered by 4 ml e thanol solution of 2,6-dimethylpyrazine ligand (165.52 mg, 1.5 mmol). Suitable crystals of the title compound for X-ray analysis were obtained in a few weeks.

Special details
| 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. |
| Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
