Abstract

The structure of the title compound, [Zn 2 I 4 (C 34 H 52 N 4 Si 4 ) 2 ], has been determined from synchrotron data, λ = 0.70000 Å. The complete metallacyclic molecule is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry, with the Zn II ion located in a general position. The 1,3-bis(dimethylsilyl-3-pyridine)propane ligand binds to two zinc(II) ions in a horse-shoe fashion, resulting in formation of a dimeric 24-membered macrocycle. The Zn II ion has a typical tetrahedral geometry via two iodide ions and two N donor atoms of the 1,3-bis(dimethylsilyl-3-pyridine)propane ligand. The macrocyclic dimers interact via weak interactions [I...H (H 3 CSi-) = 3.08, 3.27 Å].
