title: Trichloro(1,1-dimethylbiguanidium-kappa N3)zinc(II).
abstract: The title compound, [ZnCl(3)(C(4)H(12)N(5))], was prepared from aqueous solution and its structure determined. The coordination geometry around the Zn atom is a tetrahedron, with the central Zn atom bound to three Cl atoms and to one N atom of the biguanide ligand. The dihedral angle between the two guanidine groups is 67.86 (1).
