Bis{1‐[N‐(2‐methoxy­phenyl)imino­methyl]naphthalen‐2(1H)‐onato‐κ3O,N,O′}zinc(II) ethanol solvate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, Zn(C₁₈H₁₄NO₂)₂]·C₂H₆O, the Zn atom displays a highly distorted octa­hedral coordination involving the O and N atoms of two mol­ecules of the Schiff base 1‐N‐(2‐methoxy­phenyl)imino­methyl]naphthalen‐2(1H)‐one, which acts as an O,N,O′‐tridentate ligand. The ethanol mol­ecule is bound to the methoxy group of one ligand mol­ecule via a hydrogen bond.
