Tetramethylammonium dihydrogen phosphate hemihydrate

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C4H12N+·H2PO4−·0.5H2O, the anions form an infinite hydrogen-bonded chain along the [1overline{1}0] direction. The anion chains are connected by water molecules, which lie on crystallographic twofold rotation axes, through O—H...O hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds are almost perpendicular to the other hydrogen bonds which create an assembled structure of anions. In addition, C—H...O hydrogen bonds between anions and cations are observed.
