There are two molecules of the title complex, [ZnCl2(C13H10N2O)], in the asymmetric unit. Each Zn atom assumes a distorted tetrahedral ZnN2Cl2 coordination geometry. There are weak [pi]-[pi] stacking interactions between adjacent 1,10-phenanthroline rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.6356 (18) and 3.6353 (18) Å].
