Abstract: In the title compound, [ZnCl₂(C₂₀H₂₅N₃O₄)]·0.5H₂O, the Zn^II ion assumes a trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry formed by a tridentate amine ligand and two Cl^- anions. The tridentate amine ligand chelates the Zn^II ion in a meridional configuration. The extensive hydrogen-bonding network helps to stabilize the crystal structure.
