Bis(2,3-dimethylanilinium) tetrachloridozincate dihydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, (C8H12N)2[ZnCl4]·2H2O, the Zn atom is coordinated by four Cl atoms in a tetrahedral geometry. The water molecules and the organic cations interact with the [ZnCl4]2− complex anions, building up a two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network parallel to (100).
