Abstract
The mononuclear zwitterionic Zn(II) complex, [ZnCl(3)(C(2)H(9)N(2))], contains a monodentate 2-ammonio-ethyl-amine moiety and three chloride anions coordinating to the central zinc atom in form of a distorted tetra-hedron. The molecular packing shows amine and ammonium groups inter-acting through hydrogen-bonding inter-actions with chlorine atoms of symmetry-related complexes to form a supra-molecular framework structure.
