Synthesis and crystal structure of compound [ZnS6(C12H8N2)]

The title compound ZnS6(C12H8N2) was obtained by reaction of zinic powder w ith sulfur and 1,10-phenathtroline in DMF solvent,:and its structure has be en determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal dat a for the compound: triclinic, P (1) over bar, Z = 2, a = 8.159(2), b = 9.4 85(2), c = 11.997(2)Angstrom, alpha = 110.00(3)degrees, beta = 99.22(3)degr ees, gamma = 100.57(3)degrees, V = 832 Angstrom(3), D-c = 1.748g/cm(3), mu (MoKalpha) = 0.2219cm(-1), F(000) = 440, The structure Was refined to R = 0 .0723 and R-w = 0.0865 for 1427 independent observed reflections. The tilte crystal consists of a discrete molecules, in which the core of ZnS2N2 show s a distorted tetrahedral geometry.
