Abstract: The title compound, (C₁₆H₂₀N₄)₃[AgCl₄]₂, exists as discrete 3,3'-(1,4-phenyldimethylene)bis(1-methylimidazolium) cations and tetrachloroargentate(I) anions, which are linked by C-HCl hydrogen bonds [CCl = 3.453 (5)-3.711 (7) Å] and - interactions. The asymmetric unit contains one anion, one cation in a general position, and half of a cation which lies on an inversion centre.
