In the structure of the title hydrated salt, NH4+·C8H5Cl2O3−·0.5H2O, where the anion derives from (3,5-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid, the ammonium cation is involved in extensive N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding with both carboxylate and ether O-atom acceptors giving sheet structures lying parallel to (100). The water molecule of solvation lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis and is involved in intra-sheet O—H⋯Ocarboxylate hydrogen-bonding interactions. In the anion, the oxoacetate side chain assumes an antiperiplanar conformation with the defining C—O—C—C torsion angle = −171.33 (15)°.

The title compound was synthesized by adding 1 M aqueous ammonia solution dropwise to 10 ml of a solution containing 100 mg of (3,5-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid in 50% ethanol/water. Room temperature evaporation of the solution gave colourless crystal plates of the title salt from which a specimen was cleaved for the X-ray analysis.
Hydrogen atoms of the hemi-water molecule and the ammonium group were located in a difference-Fourier synthesis and were allowed to ride in the
with bond distance restraints O—H = 0.90±0.02 Å and N—H = 0.88±0.02 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O) or 1.2Ueq(N). All other H atoms were included at calculated sites and allowed to ride with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).Data collection: CrysAlis PRO (Agilent, 2013); cell

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

The phenoxy acid (3,5-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (3,5-D) is the isomer of the herbicidally active (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-D) (Zumdahl, 2010). However, unlike 2,4-D the crystallographic literature for 3,5-D is very sparse, comprising only two entries in the Cambridge Structural Database, a 2:1 cocrystal adduct with 4,4'-bipyridine (Lynch et al., 2003) and a tryptaminium salt (Smith & Lynch, 2015). The ammonium salt of 3,5-D, NH4+ C8H5Cl2O3·0.5(H2O), was prepared and the structure is reported herein.
In the title salt (Fig. 1), the ammonium cation is involved in extensive N—H···O hydrogen bonding with both carboxyl and ether O-atom acceptors (Table 1), giving two-dimensional sheet structures lying parallel to (100). (Fig. 2). Among these interactions is a centrosymmetric R44(8) motif conjoined with R44(12) and R21(5) motifs, the last one three-centre asymmetric, involving carboxyl and ether O-atom acceptors. The water molecule of solvation (O1W) lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis and is involved in intra-sheet O—H···Ocarboxyl hydrogen-bonding interactions. In this respect, the structure is similar to that of the two-dimensional ammonium salts of the isomeric 2,4-D (Liu et al., 2009) and (4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)acetic acid (the herbicide MCPA) (Smith, 2014) (both hemihydrates).
The 3,5-DCPA anion is esentially planar with torsion angles C2—C1—O11—C12, C1—O11—C12—C13 and O11—C12—C13—O14 of -175.05 (16), -171.33 (15) and -172.65 (15)° (antiperiplanar), of which the defining angle is the second value (about O11—C12). Although the structure of the parent acid (3,5-D) is not known, the value for the title salt is similar to the one found in the tryptaminium salt [-165.5 (3)°] (Smith & Lynch, 2015) and in the ammonium salts of 2,4-D [171.61 (8)°] (Liu et al., 2009) and MCPA [-173.34 (14)°] (Smith, 2014). However, it contrasts with that of the 2:1 adduct of 3,5-D with 4,4'-bipyridine (Lynch et al., 2003) [71.6 (3)°] (synclinal).
