The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(24)H(26)N(2))[ZnCl(4)], consists of two 2,2'-(hexane-1,6-di-yl)diisoquinolinium cations and two [ZnCl(4)](2-) complex anions. The [ZnCl(4)](2-) anions have a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The dihedral angles between the isoquinoline rings of the two cations are nearly equal [16.

The crystal of the title compound, (C(22)H(22)N(2))[ZnCl(4)], consists of 2,2'-(butane-1,4-di-yl)diisoquinolinium organic cations and [ZnCl(4)](2-) complex anions. The cation is located across a twofold axis and the Zn(II) atom of the anion is located on the other twofold axis. The centroid-centroid distance between parallel pyridine rings of neighboring mol-ecules is 3.
