In the title complex, [ZnCl<sub>2</sub>(C<sub>12</sub>H<sub>12</sub>N<sub>2</sub>)]·CH<sub>3</sub>CN, the zinc(II) atom is fourfold coordinated by two chloride ligands and a bidentate 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bi-pyridine ligand in a distorted tetra-hedral shape with a mol-ecule of aceto-nitrile sitting in the outer coordination sphere of the complex. π-π stacking inter-actions between the pyridyl rings in adjacent mol-ecules contribute to the alignment of the complexes in columns parallel to the <i>a< ...[more]
