Diacetato{4'-[4-(benz-yloxy)phen-yl]-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine}zinc(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Zn(CH(3)COO)(2)(C(28)H(21)N(3)O)], the Zn(II) ion is in a trigonal-bipyramidal ZnN(3)O(2) coordination with a tridentate N-chelating 4'-[4-(benz-yloxy)phen-yl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand in the equatorial position and two acetate anions in the axial positions. The three pyridine rings are approximately coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.03 Å from the mean plane. The phen-oxy substituent makes a dihedral angle of 18.1 (2)° with the central pyridine ring. The benzyl group has a C-O-C-C torsion angle of 77.62 (8)° relative to the phen-oxy ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
