The reaction of propane-1,3-diamine hydro­chloride, 18-crown-6 and zinc(II) chloride in methanol solution yields the title complex salt [systematic name: propane-1,3-diaminium tetra­chloridozincate(II)-1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa­oxacyclo­octa­decane (1/1)], (C3H12N2)[ZnCl4]·C12H24O6, with an unusual supra­molecular structure. The diprotonated propane-1,3-di­aminium cation forms an unexpected 1:1 supra­molecular rotator-stator complex with the crown ether, viz. [C3H12N2(18-crown-6)]2+, in which one of the -NH3+ substituents nests in the crown and inter­acts through N-H...O hydrogen bonding. The other -NH3+ group inter­acts with the [ZnCl4]2- anion via N-H...Cl hydrogen bonding, forming cation-crown-anion ribbons parallel to [010].

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
