Abstract: In the title centrosymmetric zinc(II) complex, [Zn2(C4H13NO2)2(C6H5N)2], each ZnII atom is coordinated by two 2-[(2-oxidobenzylidene)aminomethyl]phenolate (L) ligands and one pyridine (py) molecule in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. Each L ligand behaves as a tridentate ligand and provides a phenolate oxygen bridge which links the two ZnII atoms. The ZnL(py) units are linked by [pi]-[pi] interactions between adjacent pyridine molecules, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.724 Å, resulting in a two-dimensional structure.
