In the title centrosymmetric dinuclear zinc(II) complex, [Zn(2)(C(36)H(42)N(4)O(2))(NO(3))(2)], the Zn(II) atom has a distorted octa-hedral geometry, defined by two N atoms and two O atoms from the macrocyclic ligand and two O atoms from a chelating nitrate anion and are bridged by two phenolate O atoms, forming a four-membered Zn(2)O(2) ring.
