Abstract

The reaction of zinc acetate and 2-methyl-8-hydroxy-quinoline in methanol yielded the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Zn(2)(C(10)H(8)NO)(2)(CH(3)CO(2))(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)], which has the Zn atom within a distorted NO(4) trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. Methanol-acetate O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the dinculear units into a linear supra-molecular chain extending parallel to [100].
