U. Kreher, C. L. Raston, C. R. Strauss and P. J. Nichols

Abstract: Dimethylamine and carbon dioxide form a 2:1 adduct, which is liquid at ambient temperature. Interested in the stabilizing features of the solid, dimethylammonium N,N-dimethylcarbamate, C₂H₈N⁺·C₃H₆NO₂^-, we grew single crystals from the pure solution; the structure is reported here. The salt crystallizes as dimers, as a result of hydrogen bonding within and across adjacent ion pairs.
