title: 1-(4-Chloro-phen-yl)piperazine-1,4-diium tetra-chlorido-zincate(II) monohydrate.
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, (C(10)H(15)ClN(2))[ZnCl(4)]·H(2)O, the Zn atom is coordinated by four Cl atoms in a tetrahedral geometry. The water mol-ecules and the 1-(4-chloro-phen-yl)piperazine-1,4-diium cations inter-act with the [ZnCl(4)](2-) anions through O-H⋯Cl, N-H⋯Cl, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds (five simple and one bifurcated). Inter-molecular π-π stacking inter-actions are present between adjacent aromatic rings of 1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-piperazine-1,4-diium cations (the centroid-centroid distance is 3.453 Å).
