title: 1,8-Di-aza-bicyclo-[5.4.0]undec-7-en-8-ium bromido-(phthalocyaninato)zincate.
abstract: The title compound, (C9H17N2)[ZnBr(C32H16N8)], contains a bromido-(phthalocyaninato)zincate anion and a protonated 1,8-di-aza-bicyclo-[5.4.0]undece-7-ene cation, [DBUH](+). The central Zn(II) atom has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, with four iso-indole N atoms of the macrocycle in equatorial positions and a bromide ion in the axial position. The latter has a relatively high displacement parameter, but no evidence for disorder was obtained. The central Zn(II) atom is displaced by 0.488 (3) Å from the mean plane defined by the four iso-indole N atoms. The [DBUH](+) cation is involved in an almost linear N-H⋯Br hydrogen bond. In the crystal, π-π inter-actions lead to a relatively short distance of 3.366 (3) Å between the phthalocyaninate rings.
