In the title compound, C6H14N+·C9H3Cl4O4−, the cyclohexane ring of the cation adopts a chair conformation. In the anion, the mean planes of the methoxycarbonyl and carboxylate groups form dihedral angles of 67.3 (3) and 55.7 (3)°, respectively, with the benzene ring. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the components into chains along [100].

A mixture of 4,5,6,7-tetrachloroisobenzofuran-1,3-dione (2.86 g, 0.01 mol) and methanol (15 ml) was refluxed for 0.5 h. Then cyclohexanamine (0.99 g, 0.01 mol) was added to the above solution and mixed for 20 min at room temperature. The solution was kept at room temperature for 5 d. Natural evaporation gave colourless single crystals of the title compound, suitable for X-ray analysis.
H atoms were initially located in difference maps and then refined in a riding model with C—H = 0.96–0.98 Å, N—H = 0.89 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(N, methyl C).

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. |

From our reaction (see experimental section) we expected to form 4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2-propylisoindoline-1,3-dione but instead formed the title compound. This may have happened because of the short time and cool temperature for the reaction. The asymmetric unit of the title compound (I) contains one cyclohexanaminium cation and one 3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-2-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoate anion (Fig. 1). The cyclohexane ring of the cation adopts a chair conformation. In the anion, the mean planes of the methoxycarbonyl and carboxylate groups form dihedral angles of 112.7 (3) and 55.7 (3) °, respectively with the benzene ring. The bond lengths and angles are in agreement with those which are related in in ethylammonium 2-(methoxycarbonyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrabromobenzoate methanol solvate (Li, 2011) and in ethane-1,2-diammonium bis(2-(methoxycarbonyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrabromobenzoate) methanol solvate (Liang, 2008). In the crystal, intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds connect the components of the structure to form one-dimensional chains along [100] (Fig. 2).
