ABSTRACT
In the title compound, [ZnI2(C34H31N3)], the Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated by two I atoms and the pyridine N atoms from the bidentate 6'-phenyl-2,2'-bi-pyridine ligand in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry.
ABSTRACT
The title compound, C32H21N4·C2H5OH, crystallized as an ethanol monosolvate. In the mol-ecule of this phenanthroline derivative, the pyridine rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 1.54â (13)°. The tri-phenyl-amine group, introduced as an electron donor, shows a propeller-type structure, and the dihedral angles between the benzene rings are 68.71 11), 63.92â (16) and 70.81â (15)°. In the crystal, the phenanthroline mol-ecules are linked via the solvent mol-ecule by N-Hâ¯O, O-Hâ¯N and C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of zigzag chains propagating along [010]. These chains are linked via C-Hâ¯N hydrogen bonds, forming undulating two-dimensional networks extending in the a- and b-axis directions.
