Abstract
In the title compound, [ZnCl2(C9H7N)2], the ZnII cation is coordinated by two Cl− anions and two isoquinoline ligands in a distorted ZnCl2N2 tetrahedral geometry; the two isoquinoline ring systems are twisted with respect to each other at a dihedral angle of 45.72 (8)°. The parallel isoqiunoline ring systems of adjacent molecules are partially overlapped, with the shorter face-to-face distance of 3.438 (19) Å indicating the existence of weak π–π stacking in the crystal structure.

The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry
Fractional atomic coordinates and isotropic or equivalent isotropic displacement parameters (Å2)
Summary
The parallel isoqiunoline ring systems of adjacent molecules are partially overlapped, with the shorter face-to-face distance of 3.438 (19) Å indicating the existence of weak – stacking in the crystal structure
