2-Cyanoanilinium bromide

Abstract

In the cation of the title compound, C7H7N2+·Br−, the nitrile group and the benzene ring are almost coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0043 Å). In the crystal, the cations and anions are connected by intermolecular N—H...Br hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (010).
