The structure of the title complex, [ZnCl2(C11H9N3)2], comprises two 2-(phenyl-diazen-yl)pyridine ligands coordin-ating to a central Zn(II) dichloride unit via the pyridyl N-atom donors, resulting in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The complex exhibits twofold rotation symmetry, with the rotation axis bis-ecting the zinc cation. The structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl inter-actions [C⋯Cl = 3.411 (2) and 3.675 (2) Å], connecting neighbouring mol-ecules into layers p ...[more]
