Abstract: In the title binuclear compound, [Zn₂(C₂₇H₂₇N₄O₃)(C₂H₃O₂)]·2CH₃CH₂OH·2H₂O, both Zn cations adopt distorted ZnO₃N₂ trigonal-bipyramidal geometries with one N atom in a axial site and one N atom in an equatorial site, arising from coordination by the N,N,N,N,O,O,O-heptadentate ligand and a bridging acetate ion. In the crystal, intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds link the component units into a three-dimensional network. Two short C-HO contacts are also seen.
