n-Dodecylammonium bromide monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, C12H28N+·Br−·H2O, the ionic pairs formed by n-dodecylammonium cations and bromide anions are arranged into thick layers; these layers are linked in a nearly perpendicular fashion [the angle between the layers is 85.84 (5)°] by hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the water molecules. The methylene part of the alkyl chain in the cation adopts an all-trans conformation. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H...Br, O—H...Br and N—H...O hydrogen bonds.
