title: Dibenzoato-κO;κO,O'-(6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine-κN,N')zinc(II)-benzoic acid (1/1).
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C(6)H(5)COO)(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))]·C(6)H(5)COOH, the Zn atom is penta-coordinated in distorted square-pyramidal geometry by two O atoms of a benzoate anion and two N atoms of a 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand occupying the basal plane and an O atom of another benzoate anion located at the apical site. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions are present.
