[N-(2-Anilinoethyl)-N′-(trimethylsilyl)benzenecarboximidamidato-κ3 N,N′,N′′](benzonitrile-κN)trichloridozirconium(IV)

There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zr(C18H24N3Si)Cl3(C7H5N)], which are connected by an N—H...Cl hydrogen bond. The Zr atoms are seven-coordinate and possess a distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal geometry. In the crystal, molecules are connected by N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming ribbons along [010].
