O-(2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylaminium chloride

M. Gdaniec

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, C₇H₅F₅NO⁺·Cl^-, consists of two-dimensional networks of hydrogen-bonded primary NH₃⁺ cations and chloride anions with the pentafluorobenzyl moieties located on one side of the layer. To maximize the Coulombic interactions, the Cl^- anions approach the NH₃⁺ groups of the neighbouring network along the O-N bond direction [O-NCl = 174.3  (2)°]. The NCl distance between the ions belonging to two adjacent networks is 3.066  (2)  Å and is shorter than the NCl distances in the N⁺-HCl^- hydrogen bonds [3.099  (3)-3.133  (3)  Å].
