Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, C₈H₁₂N⁺·Cl^-, determined at 100 K, is stabilized by intermolecular N-HCl hydrogen bonds. The benzene rings stack along the a axis, with a distance between the substituted C atom and the para C atom of a neighbouring molecule at (x + 1, y, z) of 3.600 (3) Å, which suggests that - stacking interactions also contribute to the stabilization.
