Bis[2-({[2-(methyl­sulfan­yl)phen­yl]imino}­meth­yl)phenolato-κ²N,O]zinc chloro­form disolvate

The monomeric title complex, [Zn(C₁₄H₁₂NOS)₂]·2CHCl₃ or L₂Zn·2CHCl₃, where L is the 2-({[2-(methyl­sulfan­yl)phen­yl]imino}­meth­yl)phenolate anion, may be obtained by the reaction of LZnEt with benzyl alcohol or by the reaction of two equivalents of LH with ZnEt₂ in tetra­hydro­furan. The Zn atom, located on a twofold axis, is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra­hedral geometry by two O atoms [Zn—O = 1.9472 (19) Å] from the phenolate anions and two imine N atoms [Zn—N = 2.054 (2) Å].
