Abstract: In the title compound, (NH₄)[ZnCl₃(C₆H₁₂N₄)]·1.5H₂O, the Zn^II atom is in a tetrahedral environment, coordinated by one N atom of the hexamethylenetetramine ligand and by three Cl atoms. The charge of the hexamethylenetetraminetrichlorozincate(II) anion is counter-balanced by an ammonium cation. Two water molecules, one of which shows disorder and is only partly occupied, are also present. The structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular O-HN, N-HO and N-HN hydrogen bonds.
