Bis(acetyl-acetonato-κO,O')(pyridine-κN)zinc(II).

ABSTRACT

In the title compound, [Zn(C(5)H(7)O(2))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)], the metal atom has square-pyramidal coordination geometry with the basal plane defined by the four O atoms of the chelating acetyl-acetonate ligands and with the axial position occupied by the pyridine N atom. The crystal packing is characterized by a C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded ribbon structure approximately parallel to [10[Formula see text]].
