In the 6H7ClN+·C7H7O3S−, the cations and anions are linked via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into doubled chains in [010]. Weak intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions further link these chains into layers parallel to the bc plane.

To a stirred solution of 3-chloroaniline (0.67 g, 5.25 mmol) in methanol (15 ml), 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid monohydrate (1g, 5.25 mmol ) was added, stirred at 323 K for 10 minutes and cooled to room temperature to afford the title compound (I). The single crystal was grown from methanol by slow evaporation method (M.P.: 538-540 K).
H1NA, H1NB and H1NC were located on a Fourier map and refined isotropically. All of the remaining H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model with C—H bond lengths of 0.93Å (CH) or 0.96Å (CH3). Isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.18-1.20 (CH) or 1.49 (CH3) times Ueq of the parent atom.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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. |

Recently much attention has been devoted to simple molecular-ionic crystals containing organic cations and anions due to the tunability of their special structural features and their interesting physical properties (Czupinski et al., 2002; Katrusiak & Szafranski, 2006). A variety of pharmaceutical drugs are prepared as salts of benzenesulfonic acid and are known as besylates. Crystal structures of some benzenesulfonate derivatives, viz., 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate monohydrate (Li et al., 2005), ephedrine besylate (Collier et al., 2006), 2-ethyl-6-methylanilinium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (Wu et al., 2009), 2-[(E)-2-(4-ethoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-1-methylpyridinium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate monohydrate (Chanawanno et al., 2009), 2-aminopyrimidin-1-ium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (Tabatabaee & Noozari, 2011), 4-(cyanomethyl)anilinium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate monohydrate (Lin, 2010), 1-methyl-2-[(E)-2-(2-thienyl)etheny] quinolinium 4-bromobenzenesulfonate (Fun et al., 2010) and (E)-2-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]-1-methylpyridinium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate monohydrate (Chantrapromma et al., 2010) have been reported. In view of the importance of benzenesulphonic acid, we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound (I).
In the crystal structure of the title salt, C6H7ClN+. C7H7O3S- (Fig. 1), the cations and anions are linked via N—H···O hydrogen bonds into doubled chains in [010]. Weak intermolecular C—H···π interactions (Table 1) link further these chains into layers parallel to the bc plane.
