The structure of the title salt, [CrCl(C10H8N2)2(H2O)][ZnCl4], has been determined from synchrotron data. The Cr(III) ion is coordinated by four N atoms from two 2,2'-bi-pyridine (bipy) ligands, one O atom from a water mol-ecule and a chloride anion in a cis arrangement, displaying a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The tetra-hedral [ZnCl4](2-) anion is slightly distorted owing to its involvement in O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding with the coordinating water mol-ecule. The Cr-N(bipy) bond lengths are in ...[more]
