Abstract
In the title complex, [Zn(C18H17N2O3)(C2H3O2)(C9H7N)], the ZnII atom is coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom from the tridentate hydrazone ligand, the N atom from the quinoline molecule and one O atom from the acetate group, leading to a distorted trigonal bipyramidal environment for the metal atom. The two O atoms of the deprotonated hydrazone ligand occupy the axial sites. A hydrogen-bonded dimer is formed through intermolecular hydrogen bonds across a center of inversion.
