title: (Acetone-κO){6,6'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-[1,2-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato-κO,N,N',O'}zinc(II).
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, [Zn(C(28)H(30)N(2)O(2))(CH(3)COCH(3))], lies across a mirror plane with the Zn(II) ion and the acetone mol-ecule on the mirror plane. The Zn(II) ion is in a five-coordinate distorted square-pyramidal N(2)O(3) environment, with the two imine N and two phenolic O atoms of the tetra-dentate Schiff base dianion in the basal plane and the acetone mol-ecule in the apical position. The central benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 16.5 (2)° with the two outer phenolate rings. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are arranged into anti-parallel columns along the a axis.
