3-Amino-1-methylpyrazin-1-ium chloride

Abstract

In the cation of the title compound, C5H8N3+·Cl−, the C—N(H2) bond distance [1.348 (3) Å] is at the lower end of the range for aryl amines. In the crystal structure, cations and anions are linked via N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming one-dimensional chains along [100].
