title: 2,2'-(Hexane-1,6-di-yl)diisoquinolinium tetra-chloridozincate(II).
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(24)H(26)N(2))[ZnCl(4)], consists of two 2,2'-(hexane-1,6-di-yl)diisoquinolinium cations and two [ZnCl(4)](2-) complex anions. The [ZnCl(4)](2-) anions have a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The dihedral angles between the isoquinoline rings of the two cations are nearly equal [16.1 (2) and 16.3 (2)°]. In the crystal structure, the ordered linear formation is aggregated by weak inter-molecular π-π stacking inter-actions between neighboring isoquinoline pyridine rings with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.779 (4) Å.
