title: 2-Methyl-piperazinediium tetra-chlorido-zincate(II).
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(5)H(14)N(2))[ZnCl(4)], consists of a diprotonated 2-methyl-piperazine cation and a tetra-chloridozincate anion. The Zn(II) ion is in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment. The six-membered piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
