Crystal structure of {N-[(6-bromo­pyridin-2-yl)(phen­yl)methyl­idene]-2,6-di­methyl­aniline-κ(2) N,N′}di­chlorido­zinc di­chloro­methane hemisolvate

The solvated title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(20)H(17)BrN(2))]·0.5CH(2)Cl(2), comprises a bidentate imino­pyridine ligand and two Cl atoms bound to a zinc(2+) cation in a distorted tetra­hedral arrangement. The chelate bond lengths are consistent with localized C=N double bonds and a C—C single bond, as expected for an unreduced ligand bound to a closed-shell transition metal cation. Apart from weak nonclassical C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds between the complex mol­ecules and the disordered solvent mol­ecules (occupancy = 0.5), no further significant inter­molecular inter­actions are observed.
