The title mononuclear zinc complex, [ZnCl2(C17H26N2O2)], was obtained by the reaction of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, N-cyclohexylpropane-1,3-diamine and zinc chloride in methanol. The ZnII atom is four-coordinated by the phenolate O atom and imine N atom of the bidentate zwitterionic Schiff base ligand 2-{[3-(cyclohexylamino)propyl]iminomethyl}-5-methoxyphenol, and by two chloride ions, generating a distorted ZnONCl2 tetrahedral geometry. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the c-axis direction.
