Abstract
The crystal structure of Cs2[Zn(NO2)4] has been determined by X-ray diffraction. Each nitrite ion in the Zn(NO2)42− group forms one short [2.080(3) Å] and one long [2.516(3) Å] Zn–O bond, the metal–ligand interaction being intermediate between symmetrical chelation and syn-unidentate nitrito coordination. It seems likely that this unsymmetrical geometry is adopted in order to minimize ligand–ligand repulsions, though density functional theory calculations suggest a very shallow potential energy curve for the complex.
