[5-Amino-6,8-di­chloro-2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)­quinoxaline]­di­chloro­zinc(II)

The Zn^II atom in the title complex, [ZnCl₂(C₁₈H₁₁N₅Cl₂)], has a distorted tetrahedral environment formed by the N atoms of two quinoxaline ortho-pyridyl substituents and two terminal chloro ligands. There is a symmetry-independent intermolec­ular hydrogen bond in the crystal, which links one of the H atoms of the aniline group with one of the chloro ligands [Cl⋯N 3.418 (3) Å and Cl⋯H—N 142°]. This hydrogen bond is responsible for the formation of infinite zigzag chains, which run along the b axis of the crystal.
