The 25H21ClP)2[ZnCl4]·3H2O, consists of tetrahedral phosphonium cations and tetrahedral zincate anions; the water molecules form weak hydrogen bonds to the anions. Two of the water molecules are disordered over three sites in a 0.68:0.55:0.77 ratio.

Zinc chloride (0.14 g, 1 mmol) and (4-chlorobenzyl)triphenylphosphonium chloride (0.84 g, 2 mmol) were heated in an ethanol and water mixture ( 3:1, 20 ml) for 3 hours. The yellow compound that separated upon slow evaporation of the solution was recrystallized from a mixture of ethanol and DMF.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95–0.99 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2U(C).Tow of the three water molecules are disordered over three positions (O2w, O3w, O4w). As their occupancies refined to nearly 0.68:0.55:0.77, the occupancies were fixed at these values. The anisotropic temperature factors of all water molecules were restrained to be nearly isotropic. Hydrogen atoms were placed in chemically-sensible positions on the basis of possible O–H···Cl interactions; these are weak. For O2w, one of its hydrogen atoms occupies the same site as O3w, and for O3w, one of its hydrogen atoms occupes the same site as O2w.
The final difference Fourier map had only one somewhat large peak near O4w but was otherwise featureless.
From far infrared spectral measurements, the anion of the salt, bis[benzyltriphenylphosphonium] tetrachloridozincate, was assigned an ion-pair structure with the cation and anion existing in tetrahedral geometries (Bruni et al., 1992). A earlier synthesis yielded instead the hexachlorodizincate salt, whose formulation was confirmed by
analysis (Aliev et al., 1988). With the (4-chlorobenzyl)triphenylphosphonium cation, the salt is a tetrachlorozincate; however, the salt this crystallizes as a trihydrate (Scheme I, Fig. 1). The consists of tetrahedral cations and tetrahedral anions, with the lattice water molecules being only weakly connected to the anions.For background to phosphonium tetrahalogenozincates, see: Bruni et al. (1992). For the crystal structures of two related zincates, see: Aliev et al. (1988); Pattacini et al. (2009).

From far infrared spectral measurements, the anion of the salt, bis[benzyltriphenylphosphonium] tetrachloridozincate, was assigned an ion-pair structure with the cation and anion existing in tetrahedral geometries (Bruni et al., 1992). A earlier synthesis yielded instead the hexachlorodizincate salt, whose formulation was confirmed by crystal structure analysis (Aliev et al., 1988). With the (4-chlorobenzyl)triphenylphosphonium cation, the salt is a tetrachlorozincate; however, the salt this crystallizes as a trihydrate (Scheme I, Fig. 1). The crystal structure consists of tetrahedral cations and tetrahedral anions, with the lattice water molecules being only weakly connected to the anions.
