title: Bis(7-meth-oxy-1-methyl-4,9-dihydro-3H-β-carbolinium) tetra-chloridozincate.
abstract: In the title compound, (C(13)H(15)N(2)O)(2)[ZnCl(4)], also known as di(harmalinium) tetra-chloridozincate, the Zn(II) atom is in a distorted tetrahedral coordination of the chlorido ligands. In the cation, the meth-oxy and methyl groups are both coplanar with with rings to which they are attached [maximum deviations of 0.232 (4) and 0.259 (4) Å, respectively]. In the crystal, the alkaloid cations and metal complex anions inter-act by way of N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds involving each Cl atom, resulting in a network structure.
