ZnH8(C5N)2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of sixteen ZnH8(C5N)2 clusters. Zn(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(1) and one N(4) atom. The Zn(1)-N(1) bond length is 2.15 Å. The Zn(1)-N(4) bond length is 2.18 Å. There are six inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(11) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C(12) and two equivalent C(6) atoms. The C(11)-C(12) bond length is 1.48 Å. Both C(11)-C(6) bond lengths are 1.39 Å. In the second C site, C(12) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C(11) and two equivalent C(7) atoms. Both C(12)-C(7) bond lengths are 1.38 Å. In the third C site, C(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one N(1) and one H(1) atom. The C(1)-N(1) bond length is 1.34 Å. The C(1)-H(1) bond length is 0.93 Å. In the fourth C site, C(6) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one C(11) and one H(6) atom. The C(6)-H(6) bond length is 0.93 Å. In the fifth C site, C(7) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one C(12), one C(8), and one H(7) atom. The C(7)-C(8) bond length is 1.39 Å. The C(7)-H(7) bond length is 0.93 Å. In the sixth C site, C(8) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one C(7), one N(4), and one H(8) atom. The C(8)-N(4) bond length is 1.33 Å. The C(8)-H(8) bond length is 0.93 Å. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Zn(1) and two equivalent C(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(4) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Zn(1) and two equivalent C(8) atoms. There are four inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the second H site, H(8) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(8) atom. In the third H site, H(7) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(7) atom. In the fourth H site, H(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(6) atom. Linkers: 16 c1cc(-c2ccncc2)ccn1.
