In the title compound, [Zn(CH3COO)2(C6H16N2)], the ZnII atom is coordinated by two N atoms of one bidentate diethylethylenediamine ligand and two O atoms of two acetate anions in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The acetate ligands are asymmetrically coordinated to the Zn atom with two different C—O distances of 1.234 (4) and 1.275 (4) Å. The dihedral angle between the N/Zn/N and O/Zn/O planes is 83.11 (8)°. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. N—H...O hydrogen bonding links molecules into a three-dimensional network.
