Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn^II(Cl)₂(C₁₇H₂₃N₃O₂)] or [Zn^II(Cl)₂(pybox)], where pybox is 2,6-bis[(4R)-(+)-4-isopropyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl]pyridine, the coordination geometry is a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The pybox exhibits tridentate coordination to Zn^II in a [1:1] ratio, with the apical positions of the bipyramid occupied by the oxazoline N atoms of the ligand. The two Cl atoms and the pyridine N atom form the trigonal base of the bipyramid.
