Abstract: In the title compound, C₇H₇N₂⁺·I^-, the cation is located on a site of 4mm symmetry and is thus disordered about the fourfold axis so that there are two perpendicular orientations of the six-membered ring and four rotational orientations of the {-NH₃⁺} group. In the crystal, there are two layers perpendicular to the c axis, each containing iodide ions and the {-NH₃⁺} portions of the cations, with the remainder of the cations extending outwards from these layers.
