title: Dichloridobis(isoquinoline-κN)zinc(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(9)H(7)N)(2)], the Zn(II) cation is coordinated by two Cl(-) anions and two isoquinoline ligands in a distorted ZnCl(2)N(2) tetra-hedral geometry; the two isoquinoline ring systems are twisted with respect to each other at a dihedral angle of 45.72 (8)°. The parallel isoqiunoline ring systems of adjacent mol-ecules are partially overlapped, with the shorter face-to-face distance of 3.438 (19) Å indicating the existence of weak π-π stacking in the crystal structure.
