title: Di-mu-azido-bis{[1-(2-pyridylmethyliminomethyl)-2-naphtholato]zinc(II)}.
abstract: The title compound, [Zn2(C17H13N2O)2(N3)2], is an azide-bridged dinuclear zinc(II) complex which has inversion symmetry. The ZnII atom is five-coordinated in a square-pyramidal configuration by one O and two N atoms of one Schiff base ligand [Zn-O=1.902 (2) A and Zn-N=1.938 (2) and 2.002 (2) A] and by one terminal N atom [Zn-N=1.985 (2) A] of a bridging azide ligand defining the basal plane, and by another terminal N atom of another bridging azide ligand [Zn-N=2.554 (2) A] occupying the apical position.
