ZnC8H8(N2Cl)2 is Copper structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ccce space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four ZnC8H8(N2Cl)2 clusters. Zn(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to four equivalent N(1) and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. All Zn(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.22 Å. Both Zn(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 2.43 Å. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first 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 1.09 Å. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one N(1) and one H(2) atom. The C(2)-N(1) bond length is 1.34 Å. The C(2)-H(2) bond length is 1.09 Å. N(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Zn(1), one C(1), and one C(2) atom. There are two 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(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(2) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zn(1) atom. Linkers: 4 c1cnccn1. Metal clusters: 2 Cl[Zn]Cl. The MOF has largest included sphere 2.22 A, density 1.81 g/cm3, surface area 3933.91 m2/g, accessible volume 0.12 cm3/g
