2-Aminoanilinium 2-chloroacetate

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C6H9N2+·ClCH2COO−, prepared by the reaction of OPDA (orthophenelynediamine) with chloroacetic acid, N—H...O hydrogen bonds generate ladder-like chains and very weak intermolecular C—H...Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions between the anions and cations lead to a supramolecular network. C—H...O interactions also occur.
