Abstract: The title compound, [ZnCl₂(C₁₀H₉N₃)], has been investigated at 110 K. In contrast with the previously published room-temperature structure [Ho et al. (1999). J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. pp. 1581-1586], the amine N atom is found to have a symmetrical planar environment. The two independent Zn-Cl distances are significantly different, but the difference of 0.0414 (3) Å is within the range found in other tetrahedral ZnCl₂ complexes.
