A μ-phenolato-μ-azido-bridged dinuclear zinc(II) complex with 2,6-bis(N-(4-imidazolylethyl)iminomethyl)-4-methylphenol (Hbimmp), [Zn2(bimmp)(μ-N3)(N3)(Cl)], was synthesized. The crystal structure was determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction method at 293 K. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 9.2278(10), b = 26.069(3), c = 10.0068(11)Å, β = 93.261(2)°, V = 2403.4(4)Å3, Dx = 1.657 g/cm3, Z = 4. The R1 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 (all data) values are 0.0342 and 0.0892, respectively, for all 5717 independent reflections. The two zinc(II) atoms are bridged by a phenolato-oxygen of bimmp− and a μ-azido-nitrogen atom, where each zinc(II) atom is further coordinated by imino- and imidazolyl-nitrogen atoms of bimmp− and azido-nitrogen and chlorido atoms with half occupation to form a square-pyramidal or trigonal-bipyramidal geometry.
