Bis(μ-4-amino-3,5-dimethyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole)bis[diiodidozinc(II)]

In the title compound, [Zn2I4(C4H8N4)2], the ZnII atom is coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by two N atoms from the triazole rings of two 4-amino-3,5-dimethyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole (admt) ligands and two iodide ligands. Doubly bridging admt ligands connect two ZnII atoms, forming a centrosymmetric dimer. Weak N—H...I and C—H...I hydrogen bonds play an important role in the intermolecular packing.
