In the anion of the title molecular salt, C6H16N+·C6H4O5S−, the nitro group is twisted slightly from the benzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 3.16 (10)°. In the the cations and anions are linked into a two-dimensional network parallel to the ab plane by C—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

4-Nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride (0.01 mol, 2.05 g) was dissolved in 25 ml of tetrahydrofuran (THF) in a round-bottomed flask with stirring. Triethylamine (0.01 mol, 0.70 g) was mixed with some THF and added to the flask dropwise with stirring. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2.5 h and left at room temperature overnight. The needle crystals that were formed were then filtered off, washed with water and dried at 353 K.
All H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely [N2—H1N2 = 0.95 (2) Å and C—H = 0.92 (3) - 1.03 (2) Å].

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cyrosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
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. |

Aromatic nitro sulfonyl compounds are very important since they can be used as raw materials for the manufacture of sulfanilamide preparations. o-Nitrobenzenesulfonylhydrazide (NBSH) is a very important reagent for the synthesis of allenes from propargylic alcohols. The preparation of NBSH from o-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride and hydrazine in benzene was described in 1929 by Dann and Davies (Dann & Davies, 1929; D'Souza et al., 2008; Hunig et al., 1965; Kim et al., 1999).
The asymmetric unit (Fig. 1) of the title compound contains one triethylammonium cation and one 4-nitrobenzenesulfonate anion. A proton transfer from the sulfonic acid group of 4-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid to atom N2 of triethylamine resulted in the formation of ions. In the anion, the nitro group is twisted slightly from the attached ring; the dihedral angle between the C1—C6 and O1/O2/N1/C1 planes is 3.16 (10)°. The bond lengths and angles in the 4-nitrobenzenesulfonate anion are within normal ranges and similar to those in a comparable crystal structure (Quah et al., 2008). In the crystal structure, the cations and anions are linked to form a two-dimensional network (Fig. 2) parallel to the ab-plane by C—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1).
