The 11H18N+·Br−, has been determined as part of an ongoing study of the influence of the alkyl chain length on activity of quaternary ammonium salts. The title salt forms a three-dimensional network of ionic contacts through weak C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, with donor–acceptor distances in the range 3.757 (2)–3.959 (2) Å, in which methyl groups serve as donors.

The title compound was prepared by dissolving a 1:1 mixture of bromoethane and N,N-dimethylbenzylamine in acetone at 273 K. The solution was slowly heated to room temperature to give colourless single crystals of the title compound. Recrystallization from acetone afforded crystals suitable for X-ray measurements.
All hydrogen atom positions were observed in a difference Fourier map. Nevertheless, in the
procedure the hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = C—H = 0.97 Å for CH2 groups, 0.96 Å for CH3 groups, and 0.93 Å for aromatic CH, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl groups and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for all other H atoms.Data collection: COLLECT (Nonius, 2000); cell

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Quaternary alkylammonium salts are widely used to modify natural clay minerals into hydrophobic organo-clays which exhibit high capability to remove hydrophobic contaminants from aqueous solutions (Ogawa & Kuroda, 1997). From the systematic study of the relation between the crystal structures of chosen homologous benzyldimethylalkylammonium bromides and their cations' ability for sorption on clay minerals (Kwolek et al., 2003; Hodorowicz et al., 2003, 2005), it became obvious that the hydrophobic interactions are responsible for an alkyl-chain bilayer formation when the long-chain (n = 8–12) ammonium cations are adsorbed on montmorillonite (Hodorowicz et al., 2005), whereas a different way of cation packing seems to dominate in the case of short-chain ammonium cations (Kwolek et al., 2003). The crystal structure analysis of benzyldimethylethylammonium bromide was performed to find out the influence of molecular geometry, and the length of the alkyl chain in particular, on the packing properties of the ammonium cations. The structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The asymmetric unit is composed of a quaternary ammonium cation and a bromide counterion (N+···Br- = 4.439 (2) Å). The bond lengths and angles indicate the typical tetrahedral arragement of the substituents at the N atom. The molecular dimensions are comparable with the values reported in the literature (Allen et al., 1987). Methyl and methylene groups of the quaternary ammonium cation as well as C—H of the benzene ring are involved in weak intermolecular interactions of the C—H···Br- type (Table 1). There are also relatively strong interactions of the C—H···π type observed between the C2 methyl group and the π system of the benzene ring, which result in cation chains along [100] (Fig. 2). The chains are joined into layers parallel to (010) due to C—H···Br- interactions (Fig. 3). The interactions are also responsible for packing of the layers along [010], as shown in Fig. 4. Each layer consists of cations inclined to the anionic layer and arranged in a zig—zag 'head-to-tail' system. The thickness of the layer is b/2. The observed architecture of the short-chain ammonium cation layers, best seen in Figs. 3 and 4, could be considered as a model for the organic cation layers intercalated into the montmorillonite structure (Kwolek et al., 2003).
