K.-H. Lin, F.-F. Zhang, Z.-Y. Yu and S. Min

Abstract: The reaction of Zn(CH₃COO)₂ with 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) and salicylic acid in a 1:2:2 molar ratio affords the title complex, [Zn(C₇H₅O₃)₂(C₇H₁₀N₂)₂]. The Zn^II atom resides on a twofold rotation axis and is tetrahedrally coordinated by two DMAP ligands and two salicylate anions in a distorted tetrahedral geometry.
