ZnC6H6(NO2)2(C3H2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_32_12 space group. The structure consists of four 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene molecules inside a ZnC6H6(NO2)2 framework. In the ZnC6H6(NO2)2 framework, Zn(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to one N(1), one N(2), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms. The Zn(1)-N(1) bond length is 2.11 Å. The Zn(1)-N(2) bond length is 2.12 Å. Both Zn(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.20 Å. Both Zn(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.20 Å. There are three inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one N(1) and one H(1) atom. The C(1)-N(1) bond length is 1.35 Å. The C(1)-H(1) bond length is 1.09 Å. In the second C site, C(6) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one N(2) and one H(4) atom. The C(6)-N(2) bond length is 1.35 Å. The C(6)-H(4) bond length is 1.09 Å. In the third C site, C(7) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one H(5), one O(1), and one O(2) atom. The C(7)-H(5) bond length is 1.11 Å. The C(7)-O(1) bond length is 1.27 Å. The C(7)-O(2) bond length is 1.27 Å. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Zn(1) and two equivalent C(6) atoms. In the second N site, N(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Zn(1) and two equivalent C(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the second H site, H(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(7) atom. In the third H site, H(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(6) atom. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one C(7) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one C(7) atom.
