N. Guo, J. Yi, Y. Chen, S. Liao and Z. Fu

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, (C₆H₈N)[ZnCl₄]·H₂O, the Zn atom has a tetrahedral geometry and is coordinated by four Cl atoms. The water molecule and phenylammonium cations interact with two [ZnCl₄]^2- anions, forming discrete structural motifs via O-HCl and N-HCl/O interactions. Intermolecular - stacking is present between adjacent phenylammonium cations (centroid-centroid distance = 3.672 Å).
