The title complex, [Zn2(C13H19N2O)2Cl2]·2C3H6O, resides on a crystallographic inversion center. The two ZnII centers bridged by the phenoxo groups are in pentacoordinated distorted square-pyramidal coordination environments with an intramolecular ZnZn distance of 3.175 (3) Å. The mesocyclic ligand takes a boat–chair conformation and an H atom from the 1,5-diazacyclooctane ring effectively blocks the axial coordination site opposite the Cl ligand to form the ZnN2O2Cl geometry. The crystal structure is stabilized by a N—HO hydrogen bond between the amino group and an acetone molecule.
