The asymmetric unit of the title hybrid compound, (C9H8N)[FeCl4]Cl, comprises a tetra-hedral tetra-chlorido-ferrate(III) anion, FeCl4, a Cl(-) anion and two quinolinium cations. There are N-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter-actions between the protonated N atoms of the quinolinium cations and the chloride anion, which together with π-π stacking between adjacent quinolinium rings [centroid-to-centroid distances between C6 and C5N rings in adjacent stacked quinolinium cations of 3.609 (2) and 3.802 (2) Å] serve to hold the structure together.
