Description
Summary:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C24H26N2)[ZnCl4], consists of two 2,2′-(hexane-1,6-diyl)diisoquinolinium cations and two [ZnCl4]2− complex anions. The [ZnCl4]2− anions have a distorted tetrahedral 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 intermolecular π–π stacking interactions between neighboring isoquinoline pyridine rings with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.779 (4) Å.
