Abstract: The title compound, [Zn 2 (C 22 H 18 ClN 4 O) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 2 ·CH 3 CN, consists of one centrosymmetric cationic dinuclear zinc(II) complex with two pentadentate ligands containing quinolin-8-olato and bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine groups, two perchlorate counter-ions and one acetonitrile solvate molecule. The Zn II atom adopts a distorted octahedral geometry and coordinates the O atom and the N atom of the quinolin-8-olato group and three N atoms of the bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine group in a ligand, and the O atom in an adjacent ligand generated by an inversion operation. The phenolato oxygen atoms in the two ligands of the cationic dinuclear complex are bridging coordinated with the two Zn II atoms. In the crystal, the cationic dinuclear complex molecules and perchlorate ions are linked by C—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
