title: Bis(7-amino-1,3-benzothiazole-kappaN3)dichlorozinc(II).
abstract: The title complex, [ZnCl(2)(C(7)H(6)N(2)S)(2)], contains a Zn centre with a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere, involving two Cl(-) ligands and two endocyclic N atoms from the thiazole moiety [Zn-Cl = 2.2284 (7) and 2.2236 (7) A, and Zn-N = 2.081 (2) and 2.041 (2) A]. The interplanar angle between the two ligands is 79.32 (6) degrees. The amino groups participate in intermolecular N-H.Cl hydrogen bonds, with N.Cl distances in the range 3.463 (2)-3.519 (2) A.
