Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Zn₂Cl₄(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂], each of the two five-coordinated Zn^II atoms displays a strongly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry defined by two N atoms from the chelate ligand and by one terminal and two bridging chloride anions. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-HCl interactions. There is intermolecular - stacking between adjacent phenanthroline ligands, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.151 (3) Å.
