(−)-Sparteinium tetrachloridozincate monohydrate

Abstract

The title ionic compound, (C15H28N2)[ZnCl4]·H2O, is isostructural with the CuIIanalogue published previously [Leeet al.(2004).Bull. Korean Chem. Soc.25, 823–828; Jasiewiczet al.(2006).J. Mol. Struct.794, 311–319]. The [ZnCl4]2−anion is, however, much more close to the tetrahedral conformation than the [CuCl4]2−ion. In the tetrachloridozincate anion, the Cl—Zn—Cl angles are in the range 103.57 (3)–116.81 (3)°.
