Crystallographic report: Dichloro[bis(1-methylimidazole-2)disulfide]zinc(II)

The Zn center in [ZnCl2(L-S-S-L)], where L-S-S-L = bis(1-methylimidazole-2)disulfide, adopts a tetrahedral configuration defined by two Cl atoms and two N atoms from L-S-S-L, which was obtained by in situ oxidation of 1-methylimidazole-2-thione. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
