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

In the title compound, [ZnBr(CHClNO)], the Zn 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 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 atom. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond, generating an (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 (22) and (14) rings. These ribbons are linked through an inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bond, forming a two-dimensional network sheet.
