(2,2'-Bipyridine-κN,N')bis-(4-chloro-benzoato-κO)zinc.

In the title compound, [Zn(C(7)H(4)ClO(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))], the Zn(II) atom is coordinated by two O atoms from two 4-chloro-benzoate ligands and two N atoms from a chelating 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) mol-ecule in a distorted N(2)O(2) tetra-hedral geometry. The Zn(II) atom is located on a twofold rotation axis, which also passes through the mid-point of the central C-C bond of the bpy ligand. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions between the pyridine rings of the bpy ligands [centroid-centroid distance = 3.
