title: 2,2'-Diamino-5,5'-dimethyl-4,4'-bi-1,3-thia-zolium tetra-chlorido-zincate(II).
abstract: In the dianion of the title compound, (C(8)H(12)N(4)S(2))[ZnCl(4)], the Zn(II) ion is in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral environment. In the cation, the mean planes of the thia-zole rings form a dihedral angle of 67.81 (6) Å. In the crystal structure, anions and cations are linked into a three-dimensional network via inter-molecular N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
