Dichlorido[2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl-κN (2))quinoline-κN]zinc

The Zn(II) atom in the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(14)H(13)N(3))], is coordinated by a Cl(2)N(2) donor set defined by quinoline and pyrazole N atoms of the chelating ligand and two Cl atoms. Distortions from the ideal tetra­hedral geometry relate to the restricted bite angle of the chelating ligand [N—Zn—N = 78.54 (12)°]. In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected into a three-dimensional structure by C—H⋯Cl inter­actions, involving both Cl atoms, and π–π inter­actions that occur between the pyrazole ring and each of the pyridine and benzene rings of the quinoline residue [inter­centroid distances = 3.655 (2) and 3.676 (2) Å].
