Dieth­yl(μ₃-2-methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-3-olato-κ⁴O³,O⁴:O³:O³)tris­(μ₂-2-methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-3-olato-κ³O³,O⁴:O³)trizinc toluene disolvate

The title compound, [Zn₃(C₂H₅)₂(C₆H₅O₃)₄]·2C₇H₈, crystallizes with one complex mol­ecule solvated by two mol­ecules of toluene in the asymmetric unit. The Zn^II ions are coordinated by two terminal ethyl (Et) groups and four maltolate ligands, which act as μ₃- and μ₂-bridges. The metal atoms are arranged in an incomplete cubane Zn₃O₄ core structure, derived from one EtZnO₃ tetra­hedron, one EtZnO₄ bipyramid and one ZnO₆ octa­hedron, sharing common corners. The structure is stabilized by weak C—H...O and C—H...π inter­actions.
