In the title compound, [Zn(C18H28NO)2]·CH2Cl2, the ZnII atom is N,O-chelated by two crystallographically independent salicylaldehyde imine ligands, leading to a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two metallacycles is 88.69 (6)°. Intramolecular non-classical C—HO hydrogen-bonding interactions are observed. In the crystal, the complex molecules stack into columns along the a axis. Dichloromethane solvent molecules are situated in the voids of this arrangement.
