Abstract: The title salt, (C₄H₁₂N₂)₂[Bi₂Cl₁₀]·3H₂O, was prepared by reaction of bismuth trichloride and piperazine in a hydrochloric acid medium. It consists of piperazinium dications and dimeric [Bi₂Cl₁₀]^4- tetraanions, the latter with twofold rotation symmetry, together with water of crystallization. Hydrogen-bond interactions, including N-HO, N-HCl and O-HCl interactions, stabilize the crystal structure.
