Tetrakis(μ-benzoato-κ2 O:O′)bis{[4-(dimethylamino)pyridine-κN 1]zinc(II)}

In the centrosymmetric binuclear title complex, [Zn2(C7H5O2)4(C7H10N2)2], the Zn atoms [Zn⋯Zn = 3.0037 (6) Å] are bridged by four benzoate ligands. Each of the Zn atoms assumes an approximately square-pyramidal environment, with four O atoms in a plane and the pyridine N atom at the apical site.
