Abstract
The title mononuclear zinc(II) complex, [Zn(C10H15N3)2](ClO4)2, was obtained by the reaction of 2-acetylpyridine, N-methylethane-1,2-diamine and zinc perchlorate in methanol. The asymmetric unit of the complex contains two independent [Zn(C10H15N3)2]2+ cations and four perchlorate anions. The ZnII atom in each complex cation is six-coordinated by two pyridine N, two imine N and two amine N atoms from two N-methyl-N′-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene]ethane-1,2-diamine Schiff base ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. The pyridine rings in each of the complex cations are approximately perpendicular to each other, making dihedral angles of 88.4 (3) and 87.9 (3)°. The perchlorate anions are linked to the complex cations through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds
