Bis(2,3-dimethyl-anilinium) tetra-chlorido-zincate dihydrate
Abstract:
In the title compound, (C(8)H(12)N)(2)[ZnCl(4)]·2H(2)O, the Zn atom is coordinated by four Cl atoms in a tetra-hedral geometry. The water mol-ecules and the organic cations inter-act with the [ZnCl(4)](2-) complex anions, building up a two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network parallel to (100).

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
