The Zn atom is coordinated by two chloride ions and two N atoms from two symmetry-independent organic ligands and shows a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The 1,1¡ä-(butane-1,4-diyl)diimidazole ligands are located around two sets of inversion centers and bridge ZnII ions, forming a zigzag polymeric chain.
