N2  - The complexes [imH2]2 [CuCl4], [imH2], [CuBr4], and [imH2]2 [ZnCl4] containing the imidazolium cation [imH2]+ have been prepared for the first time and studied by laser Raman and infrared spectroscopy. The spectroscopic data are compared to those from studies with imidazole, imidazolium chloride, methylammonium tetrachlorocuprate(II), caesium tetrachlorocuprate(II), and caesium tetrachlorozincate(II). It is concluded that in [imH2]2 [MCl4] (M = Cu and Zn), a distorted tetrahedral (D2d) model is favoured for [CuCl4]2- and that [ZnCl4]2- possesses a slight distortion from Td symmetry.
