Abstract: In the title complex, [ZnCl₂(C₁₆H₁₈Cl₂N₂)], the asymmetric unit contains one molecule and two half-molecules, which have similar geometric parameters; in the latter two molecules each Zn atom lies on a twofold rotation axis. The environment about each Zn^II atom is distorted tetrahedral with coordination of two terminal Cl atoms and two N atoms of the N,N'-bis(4-chlorobenzyl)ethane-1,2-diamine ligand. Four N-HCl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a chain of R₂²(8) rings in the [001] direction.
