In the title compound, [Zn(C20H14NO)2]·2CH3OH, the ZnII atom lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms from two bidentate 2-{[(9H-fluoren-2-yl)methylidene]amino}phenolate ligands within a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The dihedral angle between the two chelate rings is 82.92 (5)°. In the coordinated ligand, the phenol ring is twisted at 30.22 (9)° from the mean plane of the fluorene ring. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules to the methanol solvent molecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
