Abstract: The Zn^II atom in the title complex, [Zn(C₁₁H₁₃N₂O₆)₂]·C₅H₅N, is chelated by a terdentate Schiff base ligand in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. One of the coordinated hydroxyl groups forms a hydrogen bond with the pyridine solvent molecule. In the crystal structure, other hydroxyl groups are engaged in intermolecular hydrogen bonding, forming a two-dimensional layer.
