2-Amino-5-methylpyridinium (2-amino-5-methylpyridine)trichlorozincate(II).
The title compound, (C6H9N2)[ZnCl3(C6H8N2)], consists of one 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium cation and one (2-amino-5-methylpyridine)trichlorozincate(II) anion, which are held together by N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds and pi-pi interactions. The cation and the pyridine ligand show similar geometric features, except for the N-C bond lengths. Molecules of the title compound are connected by N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds to form chiral chains; these chains are associated further by C-H...Cl hydrogen bonds to form layers, which are in turn linked by pi-pi interactions.
