Abstract

Mol-ecules of the title compound [ZnCl(2)(C(7)H(7)NO(2))(2)], are located on a twofold rotation axis. Two 4-amino-benzoic acid moieties, and two chloride ligands are coordinated to a Zn atom in a tetra-hedral fashion, forming an isolated mol-ecule. Neighbouring mol-ecules are linked through hydrogen-bonded carboxyl groups, as well as N-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter-actions between amine groups and the chloride ligands of neighbouring mol-ecules, forming a three-dimensional network.
