Dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine oxide)zinc(II) tetrahydrofuran disolvate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [ZnCl2-{(C6H5)(3)PO}(2)]. 2 THF (THF is tetrahydrofuran, C4H8O), the Zn II ion is four-coordinated by t wo Cl atoms and two O atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Additional ly, two solvent THF molecules occupy the open space in the unit cell, not b onding to the Zn atom. The Zn-Cl distances are 2.2108 (6) and 2.2165 (6) An gstrom, and the Zn-O distances are 1.9851 (15) and 1.9751 (15) Angstrom. Wi thin the tetrahedral coordination sphere around the central Zn atom, the bo nd angles are O1-Zn-O2 98.16 (6)degrees and Cl1-Zn-Cl2 120.55 (2)degrees; t he four Cl-Zn-O bond angles range from 107.43 (4) to 110.55 (4)degrees.
