Bis(2-amino-6-methylpyridinium) tetrachlorozincate(II).
The title compound, (C6H9N2)2[Zn(II)Cl4], consists of two 2-amino-6-methylpyridinium (AMP) cations and one [ZnCl4]2- anion, which are held together by N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds. Bond lengths within the AMP cation indicate that the imine tautomer makes a significant contribution to the structure. The molecules are associated by two different pi-pi interactions between identical antiparallel AMP cations, with face-to-face distances of 3.627 (4) and 3.342 (3) A, to form a one-dimensional chain.
