Compound [1,4-di (4-methylphenyl) 1,4-Diazabutadiene] Zinc (II) Chloride (1) was obtained by reaction of zinc chloride with N, N’–bis
(p-tolyl) ethylendiimine. X-ray crystallography shows the molecule to possess distorted tetrahedral geometry and together with NMR data it suggests to be a unique example of 1 complex. The crystal are monoclinic, spacegroup P21/n, with a =11.4859(1), b=7.5185(5), c=20.2110 (25)?, ?=106.23(°), V=1675 (3), Dc=1.474 gcm-3 and Z=4.1525 unique observed reflections [Fo>3? (Fo)] have been used to solve and refine the structure down to R = 0.0439
