title: {N,N'-Bis[(E)-3-phenyl-allyl-idene]ethane-1,2-diamine}dichloridozinc(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(20)H(20)N(2))], the Zn(II) atom is four coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by two N atoms of the Schiff base ligand and by two Cl atoms. Edge-to-face C-H⋯π inter-actions exist between mol-ecules, with a dihedral angle of 37.8 (1)° between the benzene ring planes and a shortest H⋯centroid distance of 3.62 (5) Å.
