Hexa-μ-acetato-1:2κ(4) O,O';1:2κ(2) O:O;2:3κ(4) O,O';2:3κ(2) O:O-bis-(4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bi-pyridine)-1κ(2) N,N';3κ(2) N,N'-2-calcium-1,3-dizinc.
In the centrosymmetric trinuclear Zn(II)⋯Ca(II)⋯Zn(II) title complex, [CaZn2(CH3COO)6(C12H12N2)2], the Ca(II) ion lies on an inversion centre and is octa-hedrally coordinated by six acetate O atoms. The Zn(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms from a bidentate di-methyl-bipyridine ligand and three O atoms from acetate ligands bridging to the Ca(II) ion, leading to a distorted square-pyramidal coordination sphere. The Zn⋯Ca distance is 3.4668 (5) Å.
