Diaqua-bis(2,4-dichloro-6-formyl-phenolato)zinc(II)-bis-(μ-2,4-dichloro-6-formyl-phenolato)bis-[aqua-(2,4-dichloro-6-formyl-phenolato)zinc(II)] (2/1).

The crystal of the title compound, [Zn(C(7)H(3)Cl(2)O(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](2)·[Zn(2)(C(7)H(3)Cl(2)O(2))(4)(H(2)O)(2)], consists of monomeric and dimeric Zn(II) complexes. Both complexes afford a six-coordinated coordination environment about the Zn atoms with cis-configuration ligands. The deprotonated hydr-oxy groups of the 3,5-dichloro-salicylaldehyde ligands bridge two metal cations, forming a centrosymmetric dimeric complex. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding occurs between the coordinated water mol-ecules and deprotonated hydr-oxy groups in the crystal structure.
