The title compound, C8H12NO+·Br, is built up from roughly planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.062 Å) protonated 4-eth­oxy­anilimium cations and Br anions. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked by N—H⋯Br and N—H⋯(Br,Br) hydrogen bonds, generating (100) sheets. Very weak C—H⋯π inter­actions may also help to stabilize the crystal structure.

Comment top

The crystal structure of 4-ethoxyanilinium together with perchlorate is known (Fu, 2009).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of an almost planar protonated 4-ethoxyanilimium cation with the mean deviation of 0.0618 A from the plane formed by its non-hydrogen atoms and a Br- anion (Fig.1). The N—H···Br hydrogen bonding with the N—Br distance from 3.324 (5)Å to 3.375 (4) Å, make great contribution to the stability of the crystal structure and link the cations and anions into chains along b axis. The C—H···π interactions with the C···Cg1 distances of C7—H7A···Cg1 3.674 (8)Å and C8—H8B···Cg1 3.677 (8) Å, respectively, (Cg1 is the centroid of benzene ring) also help stable crystal structure.

Experimental top

Colorless prisms of the title compound were obtained by slow evaporation at room temperature of an ethanol solution of equimolar amounts of 4-ethoxybenzenamine and hydrobromic acid (47% w/w).

Refinement top

Positional parameters of all the H atoms for C/N atoms were calculated geometrically and were allowed to ride on the C atoms to which they are bonded, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl group and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(N).

Special details top

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.
