Crystal structure of bis­(N-tert-butyl­benzamidinium) hexa­chlorido­zirconate(IV) di­chloro­methane disolvate

In the Zr(IV) complex anion of the title complex salt, [(C(4)H(9))HNC(C(6)H(5))NH(2)](2)[ZrCl(6)]·2CH(2)Cl(2), the Zr(IV) cation, located on an inversion centre, is coordinated by six Cl(−) anions in a distorted octa­hedral geometry with Zr—Cl distances in the range 2.433 (2)–2.4687 (19) Å; in the amidinium cation, the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring and [NCN] plane is 43.3 (4)°. In the crystal, the amidinium cations and [ZrCl(6)](2−) anions are linked by N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network extending along the b axis; two di­chloro­methane solvent mol­ecules are linked by a pair of weak C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a centrosymmetric [CHCl](2) six-membered ring.
