The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn2(C25H20N4)3](BF4)4·3CH3CN, consists of one dinuclear Zn(II) complex cation with a triple-helical [Zn2 L 3](4+) motif (L is bis-{4-[(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene)amino]-phen-yl}methane), four BF4 (-) anions and three CH3CN solvent mol-ecules. The Zn⋯Zn separation is 11.3893 (14) Å and the ligands wrap around the two Zn(II) atoms, forming a triple helix as defined by the Zn-N-N-Zn torsion angles of 104.05 (18), 99.06 (19) and 101.40 (19)°. The Zn-N(pyrid ...[more]
