title: Bis(2-amino-5-chloro-pyridinium) tetra-chloridozincate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(5)H(6)ClN(2))(2)[ZnCl(4)], contains two 2-amino-5-chloro-pyridinium cations and one [ZnCl(4)](2-) dianion which are held together by N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The [ZnCl(4)](2-) anions have a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. Weak inter-molecular π-π stacking inter-actions exist between neighbouring aromatic rings of the cations with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.712 (7) Å.
