Abstract: The solvothermal reaction (D2O) of 2,6-dideuterium-4-cyanopyridine with ZnCl2 in the presence of NaN3 offers a novel complex Zn(OD)(C6H2D2N4) (1) in which Zn has a distorted tetrahedron composed of two N atoms from one tetrazoyl group and pyridyl group and two O atoms from two deuteratohydroxy OD groups.
