Abstract
In the trinuclear title compound, [Zn3Cl6(C13H20N4)(2)]center dot 2H(2)O, each terminal Zn-II atom is coordinated by an N-3 donor set from the Schiff base ligands and two Cl atoms in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The central Zn-II atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by two piperazine N atoms from two Schiff base ligands and two Cl atoms. The piperazine rings adopt chair conformations. In the crystal structure, adjacent complex molecules are linked into a three-dimensional network via N-H center dot center dot center dot O, C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl and C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds. The structure includes two water molecules, one of which is disordered over two positions with occupancies of 0.753 (15) and 0.247 (15).
