Bis(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)tetra­kis­(μ₂-3,4,5-tri­meth­oxy­benzoato-κ²O:O′)dizinc

The colourless title complex, [Zn₂(C₁₀H₁₁O₅)₄(C₂H₆OS)₂], crystallizes with one half-mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit, the other half of the mol­ecule being generated by a crystallographic inversion center. The structure shows a μ₂-O:O′-bridging mode of the four 3,4,5-tri­meth­oxy­benzoate ligands finally stabilizing the two Zn^II atoms in the dinuclear complex in a distorted square-pyramidal environment. The fifth coord­in­ation site in the apical position of the pyramid is occupied by a coordinating dimethyl sulfoxide solvent mol­ecule equally disordered over two positions.
