Zigzag hydrogen-bonded sheets in the structure of p-phenylazoaniline hydrochloride

A. H. Mahmoudkhani and V. Langer

Abstract: The structure of p-phenylazoanilinium chloride, C₁₂H₁₂N₃⁺·Cl^-, consists of sheets each comprising organic cations and chloride anions linked by N-HCl and C-HCl hydrogen bonds. The p-phenylazoaniline molecule is protonated at the azo site to form the azonium cation, while the amine group remains unchanged. The structure of the title compound has also been determined recently from powder diffraction data [Yatsenko et al. (2000). Acta Cryst. C56, 892-894].
