Transition Metal Complexes With Pyrazole-Derived Ligands. Xi. [Zn(Mu-L)(Hl)(Oac)](2) (Hl Is 4-Acetyl-3-Amino-5-Methylpyrazole)

The title compound, bis(mu-4-acetyl-3-amino-5-methylpyrazolato-N-1 :N-2)bis[(acetato-O)(4-acetyl-3-amino-5-methylpyrazole-N-2)zinc(II)], [Zn-2(C6H8N3O)(2)(C2H3O2)(2)(C6H9N3O)(2)], exists as a centrosymmetric binuclear molecule with two tetrahedrally coordinated Zn atoms bridged by two pyrazolate anions. The geometry of the terminal and bridging pyrazole ligands are slightly different as a consequence of their differing modes of coordination.
