Tetrabutylammonium N-benzoyl-6-nitro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-aminide
Abstract
In the title salt, C16H36N+·C14H8N3O3S−, the torsion angles within the cation reveal that one butyl group displays an anti conformation and the other three butyl groups show gauche conformations. The anion is almost planar, with a largest deviation of 0.166 (6) Å from the least-squares plane (r.m.s. deviation of fitted atoms = 0.052 Å). In the crystal structure, the component ions interact by means of weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
