Abstract: The title compound, [Zn₄(C₁₅H₁₆N₂O₂)₄], is a novel tetranuclear zinc(II) complex with crystallographic fourfold inversion-rotation symmetry. Each Zn^II atom has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. In the basal plane, the Zn atom is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms of one Schiff base ligand. The apical position is occupied by an O atom of another Schiff base ligand. The four Zn atoms in the complex are linked through four bridging O atoms, forming an eight-membered ring.
