Crystal structure of (7-{[bis-(pyridin-2-ylmeth-yl)amino-κ 3 N , N ', N '']meth-yl}-5-chloro-quinolin-8-ol)di-bromidozinc(II).

In the title compound, [ZnBr 2 (C 22 H 19 ClN 4 O)], the Zn II atom adopts a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry, formed by two bromido ligands and three N atoms of the bis-(pyridin-2-ylmeth-yl)amine moiety in the penta-dentate ligand containing quinolinol. The Zn II atom is located well above the mean basal plane of the square-based pyramid. The apical position is occupied by a Br atom. The O and N atoms of the quinolinol moiety in the ligand are not coordinated to the Zn II atom. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond, generating an S (5) ring motif, stabilizes the mol-ecular structure. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, generating ribbon structures containing alternating R 2 2 (22) and R 2 2 (14) rings. These ribbons are linked through an inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bond, forming a two-dimensional network sheet.
