Crystal structure ofN,N,N-triethylhydroxylammonium chloride

Abstract

In the title molecular salt, C6H16NO+·Cl−, two of the C—C—N—O groups in the cation adopt agaucheconformation [torsion angles = 62.86 (11) and −54.95 (13)°] and one ananticonformation [−177.82 (10)°. The cation and anion are linked by an O—H...Cl hydrogen bond. The extended structure displays C—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in layers lying parallel to the (100) plane: further C—H...Cl contacts connect the sheets into a three-dimensional network.
