Diacetato{4′-[4-(benz­yloxy)phen­yl]-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine}zinc(II)

In the title compound, [Zn(CH(3)COO)(2)(C(28)H(21)N(3)O)], the Zn(II) ion is in a trigonal–bipyramidal ZnN(3)O(2) coordination with a tridentate N-chelating 4′-[4-(benz­yloxy)phen­yl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine ligand in the equatorial position and two acetate anions in the axial positions. The three pyridine rings are approximately coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.03 Å from the mean plane. The phen­oxy substituent makes a dihedral angle of 18.1 (2)° with the central pyridine ring. The benzyl group has a C—O—C—C torsion angle of 77.62 (8)° relative to the phen­oxy ring. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
