Abstract: In the title mononuclear zinc complex, [ZnCl₂(C₈H₇N₃)₂]·0.5H₂O, the Zn atom is located on a twofold axis and has a slightly distorted octahedral geometry consisting of four N atoms from two 2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole ligands and two Cl^- anions. The complex molecules are connected through intermolecular hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional layer structure.
