title: [N,N'-Bis(4-chloro-benz-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine]dichloridozinc(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [ZnCl(2)(C(16)H(18)Cl(2)N(2))], the asymmetric unit contains one mol-ecule and two half-mol-ecules, which have similar geometric parameters; in the latter two molecules each Zn atom lies on a twofold rotation axis. The environment about each Zn(II) atom is distorted tetra-hedral with coordination of two terminal Cl atoms and two N atoms of the N,N'-bis-(4-chloro-benz-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine ligand. Four N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a chain of R(2) (2)(8) rings in the [001] direction.
