Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [ZnCl2(C5H4ClN)2], discrete complex mol­ecules are found in which the ZnII cations are coordinated by two chloride anions and the N atoms of the two 3-chloro­pyridine ligands within a slightly distorted tetra­hedron. Moreover, inter­molecular C—Cl⋯Cl—C halogen inter­actions (Cl⋯Cl = 3.442 Å) are found between the building blocks.
