✦ Synopsis

The nacnac (pentane-2,4-diiminato) ligand in the title compound, [Zr(C~21~H~25~N~2~)Cl~3~(C~4~H~8~O)], displays a κ^2^-coordination to the Zr center. Three chlorido ligands and a coordinated tetrahydrofuran (THF) molecule complete the octahedral environment of the metal. Despite the C
~2~ symmetry observed in the ^1^H NMR spectrum, the THF molecule is found trans to one of the N atoms of the nacnac ligand. The asymmetric unit contains two molecules. In one THF ligand one C atom and four H atoms are disordered over two sites in the ratio ca 0.58:0.42.
