Diacetato-(N,N-diethyl-ethylenediamine)-zinc(II).

In the title compound, [Zn(CH(3)COO)(2)(C(6)H(16)N(2))], the Zn(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms of one bidentate diethyl-ethylenediamine ligand and two O atoms of two acetate anions in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The acetate ligands are asymmetrically coordinated to the Zn atom with two different C-O distances of 1.234 (4) and 1.
