2-Phenylethylammonium bromide

M. Rademeyer

Abstract: 2-Phenylethylammonium bromide, C₈H₁₂N⁺·Br^-, adopts a layered structure consisting of alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. The ammonium groups and bromide anions interact through N⁺-HBr^- hydrogen bonds, forming transoid one-dimensional ladders, which are further linked by electrostatic N⁺Br^- interactions into two-dimensional sheets.
