(4-Methoxyphenyl)methanaminium chloride

R. Kefi, Z. Matthias and C. Ben Nasr

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title salt, C₈H₁₂NO⁺·Cl^-, the methoxy group of the cation is co-planar with the phenylene moiety with an r.m.s. deviation from the mean plane of only 0.005 Å. The ammonium N atom deviates from this plane by 1.403 (1) Å. In the crystal, the (4-methoxyphenyl)methanaminium cations and chloride anions are linked by N-HCl and C-HO hydrogen bonds, resulting in an open framework architecture with hydrogen-bonded ammonium groups and chloride anions located in layers parallel to (011), separated by more hydrophobic layers with interdigitating anisole groups.
