4-Ethoxyanilinium chloride

Abstract

The title compound, C(8)H(12)NO(+)·Cl(-), consists of an almost planar protonated 4-eth-oxy-anilinium cation with the N atom showing the biggest deviation from the plane formed by all non-H atoms of the cation [0.066 (1) Å]. In the crystal, N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link cations and anions into chains along the a axis. Additional C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 4.873 (2) Å] stabilize the crystal structure.
