Abstract: The title compound, [Zn(C₃₆H₄₆N₂O₂)(C₂H₆O)]·C₂H₅OH, adopts a square-pyramidal Zn^II coordination, with the N₂O₂ tetradentate Schiff base ligand bound in the basal plane and the coordinated ethanol molecule occupying the apical site. Inversion-related Zn^II complex molecules are linked via O-HO hydrogen bonding involving the coordinated and uncoordinated ethanol molecules, forming dimers which are stacked along the c axis. Intramolecular C-HO and C-H interactions are observed in the Zn^II complex.
