In the title complex, [Zn(C48H36N4)]·CH2Cl2, the ZnII atom lies on an inversion center and the dichloromethane solvent molecule is disordered around an inversion center. The tolyl substituents are twisted compared to the central aromatic ring system of the porphyrin, similar to what is seen in previously published structures of this molecule [Dastidar & Goldberg (1996). Acta Cryst. C52, 1976–1980]. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the tolyl rings and the central ring are 66.98 (6) and 60.40 (6)°.
