The synthesis of the title compound, (C 7 H 9 N 2 )[GaCl 4 ], is described. The N—C—N fragment involves delocalized bonding, which does not extend to the adjacent C—C bond. The N—C—N plane is aligned at 39.6 (2)° to the mean plane through the phenyl group. The GaCl 4 − anion is tetrahedral, with Ga—Cl bonds in the range 2.165 (1)–2.180 (1) Å. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is postulated between the N and Cl atoms.
