In the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(11)H(9)N)(2)], the Zn(2+) cation lies on a twofold axis and is coordinated by two Cl(-) anions and the N atoms of two 2-phenyl-pyridine ligands, forming a ZnN(2)Cl(2) polyhedron with a slightly distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the metal-bound pyridine ring is 50.3 (4)° for each 2-phenyl-pyridine ligand. This arranges the phenyl ring from one ligand in the complex above the pyridine ring of the other res ...[more]
