Abstract: In the title compound, [ZnCl₂(C₁₉H₁₅N₃)], the Zn^II atom is four-coordinated by two N atoms from the 1-(1-naphthylmethyl)-3-(2-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazole (L) ligand and two terminal Cl atoms in a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment. In the crystal structure, inversion-related Zn^II mononuclear units are linked to form dimers through - stacking interactions between the pyridine and pyrazole rings, the centroid-centroid distance being 3.5166 (19) Å. The dimers are interlinked to form a chain along the a axis by C-H interactions involving both benzene rings of the L ligand.
