Bis(4-methylbenzylammonium) tetrabromidozincate

The structure of the non-centrosymmetric organic–inorganic hybrid material, (C8H12N)2[ZnBr4], consists of two 4-methylbenzylammonium cations and one [ZnBr4]2− anion connected by N—H...Br and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds. The ZnII cation has a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination environment. No π–...

Description
Summary:The structure of the non-centrosymmetric organic–inorganic hybrid material, (C8H12N)2[ZnBr4], consists of two 4-methylbenzylammonium cations and one [ZnBr4]2− anion connected by N—H...Br and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds. The ZnII cation has a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination environment. No π–π stacking interactions between the phenylene rings but C—H...π interactions towards them are observed. The structure was refined as a two-component inversion twin.
