A. Hosseinian and A. R. Mahjoub

Abstract: In the dianion of the title compound, (C₈H₁₂N₄S₂)[ZnCl₄], the Zn^II ion is in a slightly distorted tetrahedral environment. In the cation, the mean planes of the thiazole rings form a dihedral angle of 67.81 (6) Å. In the crystal structure, anions and cations are linked into a three-dimensional network via intermolecular N-HCl hydrogen bonds.
