Abstract: In the title compound, rac-Bis[-(1R,2S,12R,13s,15s,17S,18r)-14,16,19-trioxa-3,7,11-triazatetracyclo[13.3.1.0^2,13.0^12,17]nonadecan-18-olato-1³N³,N⁷,N¹¹:2²O¹⁸]dizinc(II) bis[trichloro(pyridine)zincate(II)], [Zn₂(C₁₃H₂₂N₃O₄)₂][ZnCl₃(C₅H₄N)]₂, the cation displays crystallographic inversion symmetry. The geometry at zinc is trigonal bipyramidal. Three hydrogen bonds N-HCl-Zn lead to the formation of columns parallel to the a axis.
