In the title binuclear compound, [Zn(2)(C(27)H(27)N(4)O(3))(C(2)H(3)O(2))]·2CH(3)CH(2)OH·2H(2)O, both Zn cations adopt distorted ZnO(3)N(2) trigonal-bipyramidal geometries with one N atom in a axial site and one N atom in an equatorial site, arising from coordination by the N,N,N,N,O,O,O-hepta-dentate ligand and a bridging acetate ion. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the component units into a three-dimensional network. Two short C-H⋯O contacts are also seen.
