Octahedral arrangement of trans-bis­(di­phenyl­propane­dionato)­bis(o-phenyl­enedi­amino)­zinc(II)

The title compound, [Zn(C15H11O2)2(C6H8N2)2], consists of a square-planar ZnIIO4 array, with two mol­ecules of axially coordinated 1,2-phenyl­enedi­amine. The Zn atom is located on a centre of symmetry. The monodentate trans arrangement of the di­amine mol­ecules results in the overall octahedral geometry. The phenyl groups adopt a butterfly-like conform­ation in relation to the ketoenolate frame. There are intramolecular N—H⋯O and intermolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds; the N⋯O and N⋯N distances are 3.130 (4) and 3.323 (5) A, respectively.
