Abstract
The title compound, [Zn2(C21H25N2)2(OH)2], is a binuclear zinc complex formed by two bidentate β-diketiminate (nacnac) ligands and two μ-hydroxide O atoms, bridging two mononuclear units into a centrosymmetric dimeric unit. Each Zn2+ cation is coordinated by two N-donor atoms from the nacnac ligand and two O-donor atoms of hydroxide anions to give a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment. The Zn—O bond lengths are 1.9643 (13) and 2.0022 (14) Å, and the two Zn—N bond lengths are 1.9696 (14) and 1.9823 (14) Å. The distance between the two Zn2+ cations in the dimer is 2.9420 (4) Å. Although hydroxide groups are present in the complex, no classical hydrogen-bonding interations are observed because of the bulky β-diketiminate ligands.
