Bis(μ-2,4-dihydroxy­acetophenone salicylhydrazidato)bis­[pyridine­zinc(II)] dimethyl­formamide disolvate

The tridentate Schiff base ligand 2,4-dihydroxy­acetophenone salicylhydrazide, derived from the condensation of 2,4-dihydroxy­acetophenone and salicylhydrazide, in the presence of pyridine and N,N′-dimethyl­formamide, forms a dinuclear distorted square-pyramidal Zn complex with Zn(OAc)₂·2H₂O, viz. [Zn₂(C₁₅H₁₂N₂O₄)₂(C₅H₅N)₂]·2C₃H₇NO. The complex is centrosymmetric and the two Zn atoms are bridged by two phenolate O atoms.
