Abstract: The reaction of zinc acetate and 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline in methanol yielded the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Zn₂(C₁₀H₈NO)₂(CH₃CO₂)₂(CH₃OH)₂], which has the Zn atom within a distorted NO₄ trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. Methanol-acetate O-HO hydrogen bonds link the dinculear units into a linear supramolecular chain extending parallel to [100].
