Abstract: The title compound, [Zn₂Cl₂(C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂)(C₃H₇NO)], is a doubly oxygen-bridged dinuclear complex with non-crystallographic mirror symmetry. One of the Zn²⁺ ions has a distorted square-pyramidal environment involving two O and two N atoms of the bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediaminate ligand, and an O atom of dimethylformamide in the axial position. The other Zn²⁺ ion has a distorted tetrahedral coordination, with average Zn-O and Zn-Cl distances of 1.994  (3) and 2.2108  (14)  Å. The ZnZn distance is 3.161  (1)  Å.
