Abstract :
The structures of two salts of trimethylphenylammonium cation with iodide (1) and hydrogen sulfate (2) have been determined at 173 K. Crystals of both 1 and 2 are in the orthorhombic space groups P212121 and Pna21, with Z = 4 and cell dimensions a = 5.7671(7), b = 7.9353(6) and c = 22.258(2) for 1 and a = 9.3995(10), b = 13.0661(13) and c = 8.9860(13) Å for 2. In 1, the trimethylphenylammonium cation is hydrogen bonded and is restricted to non-classical H2C―H…I and (π)C―H…π hydrogen bonds. The presence of hydrogen sulfate in 2 allowed further classical (O―H…O) and non-classical (C―H…O, H2C―H…π and (π)C―H…π) hydrogen bonding. Consequently, lattices of both 1 and 2 form supramolecular structures.
