Bis(adamantan-1-aminium) carbonate

Abstract

In the title compound, 2C10H18N+·CO32−, the adamantan-1-aminium cation forms three N—H...O hydrogen bonds to three carbonate ions, resulting in a layer parallel to (001) with the adamantane groups located on its surface so that adjacent layers form only C—H...H—C contacts. The carbonate anions occupy special positions of 32 symmetry, whereas the adamantan-1-aminium cations occupy special positions of 3 symmetry.
