Abstract: The crystal of the title compound, (C₂₂H₂₂N₂)[ZnCl₄], consists of 2,2'-(butane-1,4-diyl)diisoquinolinium organic cations and [ZnCl₄]^2- complex anions. The cation is located across a twofold axis and the Zn^II atom of the anion is located on the other twofold axis. The centroid-centroid distance between parallel pyridine rings of neighboring molecules is 3.699 (3) Å, but the face-to-face separation of 3.601 (3) Å suggests there is no significant - stacking in the crystal structure.
