ZnC6H12(NCl)2 is beta Np structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four ZnC6H12(NCl)2 clusters. Zn(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one N(1), one N(2), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. The Zn(1)-N(1) bond length is 2.11 Å. The Zn(1)-N(2) bond length is 2.11 Å. Both Zn(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 2.24 Å. There are four inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent H(5) atoms. The C(3)-N(2) bond length is 1.49 Å. Both C(3)-H(5) bond lengths are 1.10 Å. In the second C site, C(4) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one N(1) and two equivalent H(6) atoms. The C(4)-N(1) bond length is 1.49 Å. Both C(4)-H(6) bond lengths are 1.10 Å. In the third C site, C(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one N(1), one H(1), and one H(2) atom. The C(1)-N(1) bond length is 1.49 Å. The C(1)-H(1) bond length is 1.10 Å. The C(1)-H(2) bond length is 1.10 Å. In the fourth C site, C(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent H(3,4) atoms. The C(2)-N(2) bond length is 1.49 Å. Both C(2)-H(3,4) bond lengths are 1.10 Å. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to one Zn(1), one C(4), and two equivalent C(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NZnC3 tetrahedra. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to one Zn(1), one C(3), and two equivalent C(2) atoms to form corner-sharing NZnC3 tetrahedra. There are five 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(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(3) atom. In the third H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the fourth H site, H(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(4) atom. In the fifth H site, H(3,4) 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 C1CN2CCN1CC2. Metal clusters: 4 Cl[Zn]Cl.
