Supporting information
0.5 mmol of zinc oxide, 1 mmol of 4-methoxysalicylaldehyde and 1 mmol of butylamine were dissolved in 10 ml methanol. After 3 ml ammonia was added, the result solution was then heated to 423 K for 10 h in a sealed vessel. The reactor was cooled to room temperature at a rate of 10 K h-1. The mixture was filtered and held at room temperature for 8 d. Colourless blocks of (I) were isolated in 47% yield.
All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions (C—H = 0.95—0.99Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

Special details top Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

As part of our ongoing studies of the structures of zinc(II) complexes (Zhu et al., 2003; You et al., 2003), we now report the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
Compound (I) consists of a ZnII atom and two bidentate salicylal schiff base ligands (Fig. 1). The central ZnII atom exhibits 4-coordination by two N atoms from imine moieties and two O-anions from salicylal groups, forming a slightly distorted square planar geometry (Table 1). Ring Zn1—N1—C7—C1—C2—O1 and Ring Zn1—N1A—C7A—C1A—C2A—O1A, togethor with the two benzene rings, stand in a plane with mean deviation of 0.0489 °. Two short intramolecular C—H···O contacts occur in the molecule (Table 2).
