A polymorph of tetraethylammonium chloride

Y. Yan, J. T. Mague and J. P. Donahue

Abstract: The structure of the title compound, C₈H₂₀N⁺·Cl^-, is compared with a polymorph that was described earlier in the same space group. Differences in the conformations of the ethyl groups of the cation exist between the polymorphs. This study is given here in order to provide additional unit-cell data for use in qualitative identification of crystalline samples obtained in syntheses in which Et₄N⁺·Cl^- is either used or generated.
