Abstract

The monomeric title complex, [Zn(C14H12NOS)2]·2CHCl3 or L2Zn·2CHCl3, where L is the 2-({[2-(methyl-sulfan-yl)phen-yl]imino}-meth-yl)phenolate anion, may be obtained by the reaction of LZnEt with benzyl alcohol or by the reaction of two equivalents of LH with ZnEt2 in tetra-hydro-furan. The Zn atom, located on a twofold axis, is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by two O atoms [Zn-O = 1.9472 (19) Å] from the phenolate anions and two imine N atoms [Zn-N = 2.054 (2) Å].
