(micro-C-meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-Hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N-acetato-1kappa(5)N,N',N",N"',O:2kappaO')tetrachloro-1kappaCl,2kappa(3)Cl-cobalt(III)zinc(II).

The crystal structure of the title compound, [CoCl(C(18)H(37)N(4)O(2)){ZnCl(3)}], has been determined by X-ray diffraction.C-meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-Hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N-acetate acts as a bridging ligand to coodinate with Co(III) and Zn(II) ions. The Co(III) ion is six-coordinate in a nearly octahedral environment provided by one Cl atom, four N atoms of the bridging ligand, and one O atom. The Zn(II) ion is four-coordinate in a distorted tetrahedral environment completed by three Cl atoms and an O atom of the bridging ligand.
