W. Li and Z. G. Lu

Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(CH₃COO)₂(C₂₈H₂₁N₃O)], the Zn^II ion is in a trigonal-bipyramidal ZnN₃O₂ coordination with a tridentate N-chelating 4'-[4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand in the equatorial position and two acetate anions in the axial positions. The three pyridine rings are approximately coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.03 Å from the mean plane. The phenoxy substituent makes a dihedral angle of 18.1 (2)° with the central pyridine ring. The benzyl group has a C-O-C-C torsion angle of 77.62 (8)° relative to the phenoxy ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C-HO hydrogen bonds.
