1-Methylpiperazine-1,4-diium tetrachloridozincate hemihydrate

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, (C5H14N2)[ZnCl4]·0.5H2O, is built up from discrete 1-methylpiperazinediium cations with chair conformation, tetrahedral tetrachloridozincate anions and uncoordinated solvent water molecules linked together by three types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, viz. N—H...Cl, N—H...O and O—H...Cl.
