Two bidentate planar ligands exhibit approximate orthogonality (dihedral angle 84.95°).

Significant asymmetry in Zn-O bond lengths (2.056–2.534 Å) was observed, indicating unequal ligand binding.

Conclusions:

The distorted octahedral geometry and asymmetric bonding highlight unique coordination behavior in this zinc complex.
Resonance interactions likely contribute to the stability and electronic properties of the ligand system.
