Abstract
The title complex salt, (C8H20N)[ZnCl3(C3H7NO)], contains one [Et4N]+ cation (Et is ethyl) and one [ZnCl3(DMF)]− anion (DMF is dimethylformamide). In the anion, the zinc atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by a DMF ligand via the O atom and by three terminal Cl atoms. The average Zn—Cl bond length and Cl—Zn—Cl angle are 2.243 (11) Å and 114 (3)°, respectively.
Highlights
The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, containing two independent ions: [Et4N]+ cation and
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 treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes
