Ammonium 2-(3,4-dimethylbenzoyl)benzoate dihydrate

Abstract

In the anion of the title compound, NH4+·C16H13O3−·2H2O, the benzene rings are twisted with respect to each other by 73.56 (10)°. In the crystal, extensive N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the cations, anions and lattice water molecules into a three dimensional supramolecular structure.
