Abstract

crystal structure

zinc phthalocyaninato complex

co-crystal

hydrogen bonding

conformation

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2[Zn(C32H16N8)(C7H9N)].3C7H9N, comprises two independent complex molecules and three benzyl-amine solvent molecules. Each complex molecule features a penta-coordinated Zn2+ ion within a square-pyramidal geometry, whereby the N5 donor set is defined by four atoms of the phthalocyaninate dianion (PC) and an N-bound benzyl-amine molecule; it is the relative orientations of the latter that differentiate between the independent complex molecules. The uncoordinated benzyl-amine molecules display different conformations in the structure, with syn-Car-Car-Cm-N (ar = aromatic, m = methylene) torsion angles spanning the range -28.7 (10) to 35.1 (14)°. In the crystal, N-H...N and N-H...[pi] interactions lead to supra-molecular layers in the ab plane. The layers have a zigzag topology, have the coordinating and non-coordinating benzyl-amine molecules directed to the inside, and present the essentially flat PC resides to the outside. This arrangement enables adjacent layers to associate via [pi]-[pi] interactions [inter-centroid distance between pyrrolyl and fused-benzene rings = 3.593 (2) Ã…] so that a three-dimensional architecture is formed.
