The title compound, [Zn2(C20H20N5O)Cl3], was prepared from the multidentate ligand 2-[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)acetamide and zinc(II) chloride. The deprotonated ligand bridges the two ZnII ions, coordinating to one in a tripodal fashion through the amide O and three N atoms, and to the second as a bidentate chelate through the amide and one pyridyl N atoms. Cl− anions complete the distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination for one ZnII ion and a distorted tetrahedral arrangement around the other.
