The paper reports the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C₈H₁₀F₃O₂)₂(CH₄O)₂], a dimethanol coordinated zinc complex with the ligand 1,1,1-trifluoro-5,5-dimethylhexane-2,4-dionate. The complex is isostructural with its Co analogue and is located on a crystallographic inversion center. The octahedral coordination environment around the zinc cation is slightly distorted, with methanol molecules in trans positions. The planes of the β-diketonate and the ZnO₄ unit are tilted by 18.64 (10)° against each other. Hydrogen bonds between the methanol hydroxyl groups and neighboring diketonate O atoms form chains along the a-axis. The synthesis and refinement details, as well as the geometric parameters, are provided, along with references to related literature on metal β-diketonate complexes and their applications.The paper reports the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C₈H₁₀F₃O₂)₂(CH₄O)₂], a dimethanol coordinated zinc complex with the ligand 1,1,1-trifluoro-5,5-dimethylhexane-2,4-dionate.
