Bis(acetyl-acetonato-κ2 O,O′)(pyridine-N)zinc(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(C5H7O2) 2(C5H5N)], 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[.
