title: [N-((E)-2-{[2-(Dimethyl-amino)-eth-yl]imino-meth-yl}phen-yl)-N-(2,6-dimethyl-phen-yl)anilinido-κN,N',N'']ethyl-zinc.
abstract: The title eth-yl-zinc complex, [Zn(C(2)H(5))(C(19)H(24)N(3))], bears a tridentate anilinide-aldimine ligand and features one long Zn-N(amine) bond length, attributable to the crowded environment of the coordinated metal, arising from the dimethyl-phenyl group. The Zn(II) ion adopts a distorted tetra-hedral geometry, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings being 86.05 (16)°.
