K. Uta, Y. Sato and J. Mizuguchi

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₉H₃₄N⁺·C₁₀H₇O₄S^-, is a charge-control agent for toners used in electrophotography. Intermoleclar O-HO hydrogen bonding between the OH group of one anion and the sulfonate O atom of a neighboring anion leads to the formation of one-dimensional chains along the b axis. In addition, C-HO hydrogen bonds are observed. One of the n-butyl chains of the cation is disordered over two sites in a 0.88:0.12 ratio.
