Abstract: In the title compound, [ZnCl₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₂)]_n, the Zn^II ion displays a tetrahedral coordination geometry. Each 1,2-di-4-pyridylethylene ligand is located on an inversion center and bridges Zn^II ions, forming a zigzag polymeric chain. Weak C-HCl hydrogen bonding is observed in the crystal structure.
