(−)-Sparteinium tetrachloridozincate monohydrate

Abstract

The title ionic compound, (C15H28N2)[ZnCl4]·H2O, is isostructural with the CuII analogue published previously [Lee et al. (2004). Bull. Korean Chem. Soc. 25, 823–828; Jasiewicz et al. (2006). J. Mol. Struct. 794, 311–319]. The [ZnCl4]2− anion is, however, much more close to the tetrahedral conformation than the [CuCl4]2− ion. In the tetrachloridozincate anion, the Cl—Zn—Cl angles are in the range 103.57 (3)–116.81 (3)°.
