(4-Chlorophenyl)methanaminium chloride hemihydrate
Abstract
In the title hydrated salt, C7H9ClN+·Cl−·0.5H2O, the water O atom lies on a crystallographic twofold axis. In the crystal, the monoprotonated 4-chlorobenzylammonium cation forms N—H...Cl and N—H...O hydrogen bonds and the water molecule forms O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, generating layers lying parallel to the bc plane.
