Retracted: [N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxy­naphthyl­methyl­ene)-1,2-ethanediaminato]zinc(II)

The title compound, [Zn(C₂₄H₁₈N₂O₂)], is a mononuclear zinc(II) complex. The crystal is isostructural with the previously studied Ni and Co analogues. The Zn atom has a slightly distorted square-planar coordination formed by two O and two N atoms of the tetra­dentate Schiff base ligand.
