  • Abstract
    The solid-state structures of two quaternary trytpammonium salts, namely, N,N-dimethyl-N-n-propyl­tryptammonium (DMPT) iodide [systematic name: 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-N,N-dimethyl-N-propyl­aza­nium iodide], C15H23N2+·I−, and N-allyl-N,N-di­methyl­tryptammonium (DMALT) iodide, [systematic name: 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-N,N-dimethyl-N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)aza­nium iodide], C15H21N2+·I−, are reported. Both salts possess a tri­alkyl­tryptammonium cation and an iodide anion in the asymmetric unit, which are joined together through N—H⋯I inter­actions. The DMALT structure was refined as an inversion twin, and the allyl group is disordered over two orientations with a 0.70 (4):0.30 (4) ratio.
