title: Dichloridobis(4-pyridylmethyl 1H-pyrrole-2-carboxyl-ate-κN)zinc.
abstract: In the title mol-ecule, [ZnCl(2)(C(11)H(10)N(2)O(2))(2)], the Zn(II) ion, situated on a twofold axis, is in a distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment formed by two chloride anions and two pyridine N atoms of the two organic ligands. In the pyrrole-2-carboxyl-ate unit, the pyrrole N-H group and the carbonyl group point approximately in the same direction. The dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings is 54.8 (3)°. The complex mol-ecules are connected into chains extending along [101] by N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The chains are further assembled into (-101) layers by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl inter-actions.
