2,2′-(Butane-1,4-diyl)diisoquinolinium tetrachloridozincate(II)

The crystal of the title compound, (C22H22N2)[ZnCl4], consists of 2,2′-(butane-1,4-diyl)diisoquinolinium organic cations and [ZnCl4]2− complex anions. The cation is located across a twofold axis and the ZnII atom of the anion is located on the other twofold axis. The centroid–centroid distance between parallel pyridine rings of neighboring molecules is 3.699 (3) Å, but the face-to-face separation of 3.601 (3) Å suggests there is no significant π–π stacking in the crystal structure.
