The title compound, [Cu(C10H24N4)([mu]-Cl)ZnCl3], is formed by the reaction of equimolar amounts of 3-azapentane-1,5-diamine, copper(II) chloride and zinc(II) chloride with excess 4-amino-4-methylpentan-2-one in methanol. The copper(II) ion is in a square-pyramidal coordination, with the tetradentate triamine monoimine ligand in the basal plane (mean Cu-N distance is 2.005 Å) and a Cl atom of a tetrachlorozincate ion axially coordinated, with a Cu-Cl distance of 2.6630 (7), a Cl-Zn distance of 2.3107 (7) Å and angle Cu-Cl-Zn angle of 113.14 (2)°. The chloro-bridged copper-zinc units are linked by a network of N-H...Cl and C-H...Cl hydrogen bonds together with a weak Cu...Cl interaction, trans with respect to the first, of 3.9362 (7) Å, forming layers parallel to the x0Z plane of the unit cell.
