A second polymorph of 2,5-dibromoanilinium bromide

P. G. Jones and V. Lozano

Abstract: All atoms of the title compound, C₆H₆Br₂N⁺·Br^-, except for two H atoms of the NH₃⁺ group, lie in a crystallographic mirror plane. The packing within the plane is determined by hydrogen bonds N⁺-HBr^- and C-HBr^-, and by BrBr contacts. Planes are linked by hydrogen bonds N⁺-HBr^-. The packing is completely different from that of the previously known form [López-Duplá, Jones & Vancea (2003). Z. Naturforsch. Teil B, 58, 191-200].
