Abstract: The centrosymmetric trinuclear title compound, [Zn₃(C₂H₃O₂)₂(C₇H₅O₃)₄(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂], has six carboxylate groups each bridging two metal centers. The Zn atom on a center of inversion is coordinated by six O atoms in an octahedral environment. The other Zn atoms are each chelated by the N-heterocycle, and their coordination number is also six as the acetate group also functions as a chelating group. The hydroxy group of one of the two symmetry-independent salicylate groups is disordered over two positions in a 2:1 ratio.
